    An interesting concept car... at least a good base to start with for a road car. The show car has no engine apparently.

But at this price point I'm going to guess that we see first a normally aspirated 3.5L 2GR-FSE and then an all-new twin-turbo V6 variant.

    Totally my personal fantasy, I haven't read anything about the existence of such a motor.

    They can't price it too high or it'll just compete with the RC-F.

    Right -- from Kch's link:

    For Alex Shen, studio chief designer at Toyota's Calty Design Research in Newport Beach, California, the words describing the sports car's styling concept came first -- words like "sexy," "honest," "organic," "kick-ass." Followed by proportions -- front/mid-engine, rear drive, just the right scale. And a wild guess at price -- maybe $60,000? "It's a Toyota," says Shen. "It ought to be affordable."

    The side and rear profile are nice but the front is hideous.

    Now it's reminding me of the Alfa Romeo TZ3.

    I have to agree with Rob. In profile view it looks great. Shades of 370z in there but the front and rear are just horrid. I want to like it but I just don't. I guess the same way I feel about the Supra itself. Amazing technology but you couldn't even give me one.
