New Concept Car

interesting

roadster = lightweight
awd = great traction
hybrid = great fuel economy
2grfxe = 295 hp (gas + electric combined)

can't ask for anything more, except to fix the hideous appearance and somehow incorporate fully manual transmissions (to hybrid engines).

the front fenders look like that of S2000's

yeah, the front looks very similar to an s2k.

i agree,

but still, i'll be following this, very cool!

I highly doubt the Celica line will return, will the Deuce line return?? that is very questionable. I just hope Toyota doesnt be an idiot again and enlist another car company for its motor.

the back looks too much like a tvr.

like always we are atleast another decade before that car even comes close to production.

Interesting. To add the lights are a nice style, but dont really suit the car & the wing mirrors need to be lower

moved to the off topic section

Nope.

also, 3,300lbs.

Not a MR2. Never will be a MR2.


Mid engine Rear wheel drive. This car lacks the RWD aspect.

MR2 and Celica being revived? don't count on it. Is this a new car concept that is inspired by the sporty nature of the MR2 and Celica? yes.

I like it.
the front end picture doesn't look like an S2000, it IS an S2000
The rear end looks like an Elise
and its waist is unremarkable. I definitely agree that it needs some lower mirrors. maybe only by an inch or two, but they seem to stick up too much. I'd probably put the bottom of them even with the top of the door.

too bad it'll be another 15 years before this sees the street.

I'd hit it.

With a semi truck. Blegh.

Yuck.

This is an mr2 spyder with a hideous body kit on it

This is an mr2 spyder with a hideous body kit on it

does not look as a toyota.

at first glimpse i tought the badge read GTR i was like, WTF, it looks like a mr2 spyder with a 370 kit from nissan.

its ugly as ****

Honestly, as long as it comes in Toyota brand and Not Scion.... (Yes I know it's all the same but to me it isn't, the very name Toyota itself has the best history) and was even enough to compete stock wise with the cars of today. I don't care how it looks, I'll still support Toyota. Lately... I have been growing a sadness with them.

Actually MR means mid-ship runabout. Runabout standing for roadster not RWD, so they can get away with the MR on a technicality.

Also it wont be a toyota because scion is now toyotas (and i put this loosely a posible) "performance" line, just like the prius is getting its own line. It's already been stated in press releases. The toyota that we grew up with is dead, no longer will we see the inline 6 monsters or the s**t n' get 4wd rally cars , and thats why I work for honda now because they at least know how to make a car that is worth driving.

On a last note the celica was never stopped they just renamed it the tc (refer back to my statement about scion).
