I like it. And I never thought I'd be saying that about a current Toyota, concept or otherwise.
It has some odd shapes here and there but over-all, if it's small and relatively light and a good performer then I'm sold. I honestly didn't think they had it in them.
What I'm MOST fond of is that it looks low slung. The beltline is not so high like a 350Z or a Sky.
Also the dimensions mentioned for the concept are right on too. The length is about 2" shorter but an inch wider then the last gen Celica.
I'm not saying shit for Nissan right now. I've lost just as much faith in them over the last 2 years that a new SX is coming. Until I see something solid like Toyota showed us today then I'm a skeptic.
Here's the car in motion in GT5.

I LOVE IT. Yep, Toyota did right on the design by me. I love the A and B Pillars being black. Similar to the GTR. It gives the greenhouse of the car a fighter jet look.

There's a little GTR mixed in too with the canopy.

It looks like a R8 and a 350Z. Looks okay but I don't like the wheels at all.

I can hear the fighting already. The Toyoda camp will say the motor is garbage and the subie guys will say it looks like shit. Anyone remember the last time two companies got together to build a boxer four rear drive sports car? While it did handle fantastic, it was a bastard child none the less.
