Wow- I really like nothing about this car whatsoever. Are those George Foreman Grilles that the taillights are melting over? The sheetmetal sculpting is torturous at best- WTF is up with that spiky prong sticking up at the quarter window.

I've been wondering for the last half-dozen years or so: why no toyota sports car.

Now I know why.

As for the styling, it looks good in profile, but the details look bad. It needs to be cleaned up a lot. Mechanicals seem impressive.

I like it a lot minus the nose.

Its very... odd.

I love the profile, but that weird thing by the quarter windows looks stupid. Why not just simple, elegant kick-up? The grill things under the tail lights look moronic. I pray that the final version looses that crap...there's a very nice looking car behind the screw-ups.

I like the wheels a lot, and the tailpipes are kinda cool, but that's about it. The engine also sounds nice, but at the price this is going to sell for, everything has a nice engine, and most don't look like complete crap.

cool mechanicals, looks automatic, too bad.

it does say 2 rear mounted radiators...heat exhausts?

If they do clean up the details which seems to me everybody is agreeing on it might be good. But as of right now I am not feeling it.

I like SOME of the styling... it's actually not bad for a modern day 2000GT.

That gawd-awful A-B pillar thing is f@#king horroible. It seems Toyotas are

not ugly enough anymore with just a big ugly B-piller they have to ADD a

bizzare fixed 1/4 window/forked-A-pillar to everything from the yaris to

the Prius and now this.

The nose, rear & some of the profile (rear window scoop excluded) I like.

Jeeze, they already put 100,000 miles on the thing! Who wants that!?

Just about everything looks great. My only problem is with the rear lights. WTF is that black grating there for? I know they cool the engine but why couldn't Toyota put them in a different location?

I like it, even the unorthodox air sucker inner behind the window. You certainly cannot call this a bland Lexus, thats what I like about it.

+1

The more I look at it the more I like it. It's sexy and has original styling, and the original pics did not do this car justice. It looks much sleeker and more visuall striking than the first LF-A. I hope this car does make it to production.
