Never claimed the LF-GH came out first, just that they seem to share alot of styling queues. Normally, I wouldn't mind, but I would like to see more divergence between Toyota/Scion and Lexus in terms of styling direction.

thats looks a bit different than FT concept, or is it just different color that makes all those extra lines come out? looks menacing... they better add turbo to it!

The FR-S is basically the FT-86 II concept toned down considerably. The Subaru version is supposed to be turbo powered.

Concept 1


Concept 2


Concept 3

SOLD.

The back end has a lot more shape to it now...some nice, almost ferrari-esque curves.

Weird. The Scion looks better than the original concept.

Well done!

Wow Toyota totally surprises us ! Many of us thought this would just be the FT-86 II concept with a Scion badge.

This looks awesome! Easily better-looking than the FT-86 I or II concepts.

Please, please, please let that be how the production model looks. This will sell like hotcakes.

The only thing that I am slightly concerned about is a few LFA styling cues seen on it. Great for this car, but I'm not sure about using Lexus styling cues on a Toyota vehicle.

Otherwise, I don't even care this is a Scion in North America. It will be a Toyota in other world markets anyways.

Hopefully we get to see some interior pics or get some specs!
