Because the rendering was likely of a JDM spec Supra; ie, it was RHD then mirrored. Most of the words are mirrored and not in English either.

Insane? Base price was $58,900 in 2006. Price price now is $67,700. I wouldn't pay that much for a 4 cylinder, but it's price increase has been less than $1000/year.

I'm not sure if this is true but I heard when the SW20 was released in North America one of the biggest complaints was that the car had no cup holders.

There are work abounds for this.
Funny I just read about this in one of my trade journals just Monday. Yes, I mean an actual paper magazine. Took a picture of the article and then thought "it must be available electronically".

I don't think I realized just how small this car was until I saw this picture.

I think the wide angle aspect of the camera is playing with dimensions a bit. Take a look at what appears to be a two foot long hood and oval wheels on the pickup to the left.

Haha thanks you're right. It was starting to look like a Suzuki Cappuccino.

I like the Lada looking police car in the far right of the first picture.

Maybe some of that, but it should be small, right? The wheelbase is shorter than the 86 and so is the height.

Will be small but the picture makes it look stubby not sleek.
