it all boils down to how close a production car might be to this.

Very cool. It's about time Toyota came to the party. I'm not 100% on the styling (from some angles I'm thinking Mazda). I think it looks better than the FT-HS concept, which I never really liked that much. I hope the production model gets a bit of clean up but this looks like fun.

Beautiful!! What took Toyota so long? It is about time.. I hope Toyota does not deviate from this concept. Make 4cyl & 6cyl versions of this car ala Hyundai Genesis.. The heart is finally beating again at Toyota..

Eh, the 3.6L H6 will be more likely to be seen in an Impreza than this vehicle. This vehicle is supposed to be small and light. If Subaru has convinced me anything in the years that I have driven one (or several that is) is that you don't need 6,8,12 cylinders to go fast.

Now that's what i'm talking about! It's about time Toyota!!!

FT-86 Concept:


FT-HS Concept:


Now the question is, will it continue the legacy and keep the Corolla name?
