Thanks. Believe it or not, that's the "Koup" section of a Kia Forte Koup. Took me about 6 hours. I'm not entirely satisfied with it, though.

You seem to be pretty good with computer graphics. You must work in that area for a living.

Actually, no. I've worked for Toyota and Lexus for the past 26 years. I only dabble in Photoshop. I'm sure I could have done a much better job
on this car but 6 hours was enough for me.

You mean the famous "Hoffmeister" Kink?

Yes, perfect. Send this design to your superiors pronto and see what they say

I don't think anyone would suggest making a F-hybrid. Certainly wouldn't be a bad move to stick in the FT-86 engine making a little closer to 200hp and then focusing on lightening the car up and getting the suspension/handling characteristics down. As long as it's not like the disgrace that the 135i is handling-wise, I'm all for it.

It'd almost certainly be a hard sell in the US though.

Photoshop looks like a scion tC. ewww.


If they make an F version, it should be at least AWD. I'd prefer a turbo 4 ad 2 doors, but if they could actually pull off a performance hybrid the right way, I wouldn't object to it.

All it needs is the F-badge and the LFA wheels

The tC looks like a Lexus to me anyway (last gen, not next gen).

Turbo I4 or V6 would be great for a potential F model. A Subaru sourced AWD system would be perfect too.

As for performance hybrid, the RXh's drivetrain wouldn't be a bad place to start

I agree. To many new small sedans. I think if it was a coupe its going to look like a higher end scion TC. I say leave it where it is
