In terms of look and style, IMO it is growing on me. At first I was like "YUCK!", then I started liking it more and more. Kinda reminds me of the 2000gt, especially from the side.
IMHO I LIKE IT! Can't wait to find out what type of power they are putting into it! :D

I loved it since the pics came out. If it goes into production and is within reach financially, I just might have to get this one.

I think that they need to change the front end a LITTLE bit. :)

Those are some massive brake ducts on the rear. I guess they could be used for cooling the differential too, but it is going to kill most of the desired effect of the rear diffuser. This thing has definitely only seen the designer department. First thing the engineers do if they ever get a hold of it is chunk the glass on the hood. Toyota learned its lesson about excessive glass with the Tc.

looks good, but as long as it looks like that, it will be quite expensive.

Probably right. Will be in the used GTR price range if not higher. Was hoping it was 60k but thats just wishful thinking. I retract my previous post.

Do they need that big of the rear vents to cool down the rear brakes and maybe including the diff? It's a front engine car. If anything, those rear vents will only create additional drag (even though they exit toward the back), but I'm no aerodynamic engineer.
It is a good looking car and I'm glad to see Toyota finally bring something to rival the GTR. However, a 911 GT3 from the same year would put a bigger smile on my face and on my investment.

I'm not a fan of the door vent and the design of the nose
The rest I can work with I suppose
I don't find it particularly ugly but I also don't find it attractive either

At first glance it didn't look great, but it has grown on me. Once i see it in a color that i like then i will make my final judgement lol. But I really want to know what they have under the hood. I know they were talking about have it a inline 6 to keep it in the same fashion as the 2000gt and Supra. My hope is that they have a bitchen V6 in it.

But I'm also fully prepared to eat my words
