This car is looking very good. I hope they actually make it like that. I'd like to see an STI version =)

That rendering looks pretty sharp! Just throw in Subaru's EJ255 or 257 engine and you have an instant competitor for Nissan's Z and Hyundai's GenCoupe. Just imagine the tuning potential...

I am quite sure that I will own one of these.

Very nice. Too bad the real thing probably wouldn't look like it.

Default Second That Emotion: Toyobaru re-confirmed for Tokyo Motor Show ?


Jul 8th, 2009

As recently as February, the Toyota/Subaru sports car was declared dead, a week later it was back on, a few weeks after that there were rumblings that it would be at this year's Tokyo Motor Show. Japan's Best Car magazine is apparently reporting that the little car will definitely be revealed in Japan. The news makes some sense, as this year's show will be well down on foreign automaker participation, so it's reasonable that local makers will want to take advantage of the dedicated attention to their wares.

Assuming the Toyobaru does show up, it will supposedly sit alongside the production Lexus LF-A and the hybrid 2011 Toyota Supra concept. Now if we could just make sure there's a new NSX there...

Cottage cheese can spoil?

That's why it's so delicious, you can keep a tub next to your bed, in case of late night craving.
