    Fixed. Could never understand the appeal of sickly colors.

    The article says it's a 2+2 car. With that shape, I just can't imagine rear seating.

    A 911 is a 2+2 too. Not that the back seat is usable for anyone with legs.

    Very cool. I like it better in red.

    Dare I say it?


    Once I saw it in red it reminded me of the current Alfa 4C.


    Yup. It does.

    That grille is just too big, needs toning down a bit. Ignoring that, I don't know yet. I might like the look, and the concept is great, but I want to see the view directly from the side and a rear quarter view.

    For some reason it makes me think of TVR. Don't know why and it's maddening. When I look closely that thought goes away but taking it in as a whole, thoughts of TVR keep creeping in. Then I look more closely for clues that might be familiar, TVR-ish, and it goes away again. Very strange. It's gotta be that front quarter view, something about the angle...maybe.

    If they do ever make it, it needs to be built better than a TVR (any TVR).

    I like it. Small, minimal. The styling is almost there: a couple of angles are a little phunny.

    Manual only, no automatic?

    That sounds wonderful. But I bet Toyota wusses out and offers one.

    I think the Fiat 500 Abarth was the last car sold here to only be offered in a manual transmission version. Then FCA relented.

    Before that the wonderful R53 Cooper S was only offered in a manual for the first 3 or so years of production before MINI capitulated and sought those buyers who don't use their left foot to drive.

    Agree. The nose kills it and the boot is not to far "behind" (pun intended) it.

    I will give it props on the profile, reminds me a lot of the Opel GT, I'd take one of those any day!

    Might look completely better in black...

    Would probably be a riot to drive...

    I like the white version better but mainly because I didn't have to look at that huge front grille that 1/4 of it is none functional. Why not just reshape it for better looks.. and really the back only looks cool because of the air diffuser which won't be on the street cars.. Funny thing I just noticed is if it wasn't for the big wing that car looks like it is coming at you from the rear view.. and looks better that way. Let the diffuser be the grille..
