I think it's hot. Toyota needs this car.

remember guys, concept cars are highly stylized. Production versions will fit the general public's tastes a lot better.

and this picture deserves to be in page 2.

you guys are crazy, that thing is hot. although i do agree about the front end. im sure things will change if this ever makes production. and what is up with those tires. talk about rubberbands.

This car makes me laugh for some reason. The car is not so much "ugly" per se (though I can see where many of you are coming from) but it's rather weird looking, thats for sure. I think given the choice, Im going to spend my money on that RWD Hyundai in the other thread...

Thanks for the pics!!! Enjoy your vacation!

How I love Paris in the summer, I was there last year. Between the Champs Elysees, to shopping at Galeries Lafayette, to Jardin du Tuileries, to the musees...

any word on whether or not anyone saw that vehicle entering or leaving the building. I doubt there was anything inside of it, or that it turned over at all. and imagine how much those wheels must cost..they don't even come with tires. there's not even enough black there to say that they're those plastic michelins for shows. poor wheels. and if i could get my RX to look like that with some Teins, holy
