I WANT!
I'm sure it'll be much more tame when it becomes production like the special retractable roof will probably go away. The carbon wheels will disappear. The LED headlights and tails will probably go away. I hope the body styling will remain though.

Yeah the Xtronic on the Murano does that (I think it's 7 gears for the Murano?)

With that big wheel, the brakes needs to be bigger to look good.

The brakes are actually pretty big. Its just that the wheels are incredibly huge. Around 20"-22" IIRC

Looks like a giant wedge of white cheese.

Looks like it came out of a cartoon.

Looks very juvenile.

I doubt you'll be making such sly remarks once the performance of the production car is witnessed

Is it a clay model of the same FT-HS concept we saw a few years ago or is it a newer design?

Hope we see it in the next couple years!

This is not a new concept car. I read about this thing a couple of years back. Its suppoess to be the new supra. I am excited to see Toyota get back into creating reliable cars that most will love to drive not just want to drive
