FWIW, the new "Toyobau" will
"definitely be revealed in Japan..."
AutoBlog wrote:As recently as February, the Toyota/Subaru sports car was declared dead, a week later it was back on, a few weeks after that there were rumblings that it would be at this year's Tokyo Motor Show. Japan's Best Car magazine is apparently reporting that the little car will definitely be revealed in Japan. The news makes some sense, as this year's show will be well down on foreign automaker participation, so it's reasonable that local makers will want to take advantage of the dedicated attention to their wares.
Assuming the Toyobaru does show up, it will supposedly sit alongside the production Lexus LF-A and the hybrid 2011 Toyota Supra concept. Now if we could just make sure there's a new NSX there...

Rumormill: Toyota/Subaru coupe drops 40 hp, loses weight, marketed to your dad?
I fear this car (if it ever makes it to production) will have all the verve of a Toyota and all the good looks of a new Subaru.

Huh. I really don't like that interior. Outside looks nice though.

It's... interesting. I like the rear, but I think the front is going to take some getting use to.

I hope they are not done with the foot box yet. this will be one 'enthusiasts' car that would almost be impossible to cover the skiny right foot pedals that are set pretty far apart.

I will start believing in the Toyobaru when one runs me over.
Meanwhile, Kia brings something mildly attractive to the table:

This thread is like crack... Every time I think I'm done, I want more... As many have said above, I'll wait till I see it in the dealership! Even if they don't offer it in AWD, I think that it will still be a beast. You know it will be easy to swap the engine with something more powerful or boost the one that is in there.
