Default Toyota Australia's future Coupe..

Hi guys,
My uncle back in Australia owns a few Toyota dealerships, and my cousins always keep me up to date with what is going on.. They sent me this picture of the new Toyoto Sportivo Coupe that will be on display at the Melbourne Motor show in Australia... To alot of people here, Sportivo would be a new name for you. But in Australia, Sportivo is the name for the sports version's of the Camry, and Corolla.. I was wondering what everyone thinks of where Toyota is going with their designs... Yay or Nay?... Personally I love it, except for the blue on the door...

Forgot to mention.. I also have a local magazine that hass a big write up on the models of all brands that will be released in the next year or two.. Most interesting where the pictures of the new Lexus GS, and the new IS.. The IS essentially remains the same body shape, but the whole design is refreshing... I dont have a scanner at the momment. But will try and find some pics.. Great cars comming to us in Japan from all makers..

That looks a lot like a Scion tC with big fender flares and wheels. . .

If the super wide body look was reduced a bit, and the honda element painting theme were removed, I think it would be a very attractive car! Nice proportions(no echo cab). Yeah, matching paint on all parts of the body is also important.

Pics of a new IS? Yes please! I havn't seen any GOOD pics yet, except some awful photoshopped pics.

Got to love Japan.. My next buy will be the new Toyota Crown.. Not a Lexus. But I will put money on that when Toyota opens the Lexus brand here. This will be the newest adition to the lineup!.. I am sorry that the rest of the world misses out on this gem...
