Toyota FR Concept

Found this today on autoblog.com. Talks about a new rumor of a RWD Toyota car based on the Subaru Legacy GT platform. If it looks like this picture I would be on board.

^+1

and the lines scream rx8/tiburon/350z mash up. back lights scream e90 bmw.

those fogs look flat out retarded. they look like a small mustache or whiskers. toyota has never really been too good at designing nice look cars.

i like it as well but it's looks are too much like a super car. this is supposed to something more along the lines of a 240sx competitor.

That looks expensive. I thought the Toyota/Subaru car was supposed to be an entry-level rwd coupe....
