Well said Aedan,

Good form old chap!!!! I thought the same as well when i came to the engine description…….it would be the only thing holding this car back…..i mean sure…you could spend the money and get 300hp out of the 2.0 boxter……but you might as well have bought a subaru in the end…..

They need to ditch the garbage boxer motor for a better suited motor. More like a turbo inline 4 and none of that h4 Subaru stuff. Need to make it more appealing to people ( make it easy to work on and not cost an arm and a leg to replace a head gasket. Maybe even use a turbo 6 cylinder to compete with fords eco-boost. Give it a good amount of horsepower (350) and great handling and you will have a cheap super car almost comparable to a Hyundai Genisis or Mitsubishi Evolution. I have not liked anything from Toyota for the past 10-15 years and this just caught my eye and I loved everything about it except the motor. Don’t go making a good looking car and completely under power it. Make it fast, reliable, and affordable.

Someone at Toyota likes to drive.

Those rear brakes look interesting, it looks like it has a separate disk grabbing E-brake. That is something that I really hope carries over to the final version, if not at least the disk grabbing part. I hope that the air tunnels for the front brakes aren’t fake, because I am fairly sure slotted rotors won’t be stock on the final version.

I think that the only thing I don’t like is the lack of removable speaker grills, non standard din slot radio, and most of all, an analog tachometer.

One thing that really catches my eye and makes me really really unbelievably curios, Is that a GPS display of Fuji Speedway in the middle of the dash?

Finally! A sport compact car that competes with the rest! The dashboard is a tad awkward with the zippers, but this is just a concept. I’m pretty excitement for Toyota! Keep the affordable compact cars coming President Toyoda!
