I just thought of something for Toyota/Lexus. Their designs can be considered aggressive, yet their specs are conservative. So Toyota should be the aggressive conservative car brand. I am going to try and shorten it. Hopefully it will catch on. Just like mom jeans or another word of the day.

That'll be awesome if that little thing packs more power than the RAV4.

I think it will be the non-turbo 2-litre from the overseas Camry.

yeah, that seems likely... also, it will be cheaper version than Euro one due to pricing as we can see by standard rear lights (unlike all led euro model)

We already know that it will be the sub-compact crossover vehicle to compete with the Nissan Juke and the Honda HR-V. Crossover utility vehicles are all the rage right now, squeezing out passenger cars (sedans) and Toyota has been missing in action in this small CUV niche.

So, unfortunately, little coupes will not sell and this little coupe would be a non-starter in the USA.

I sat in one yesterday. It is quite comfortable and in person it reminds me of my old Veloster. I didn't have a chance to take it for a test drive.

^ Well its not as ugly as I first thought, if you can call that a compliment. Still looks like they kind of blended a Nissan Juke, Honda Civic 5 door and graphed on the front clip from the current Rav4.

I seriously don't know why anybody would buy this, its ugly, you can't see out of it, it doesn't look to be very practical, and the Rav4 is going to be about the same price. I level the exact same criticisms at the Nissan Juke, but that car according to reviews actually handles nicely, has a punchy turbocharged engine and can be equipped with a manual.
