If that makes it to production mostly intact, I completely take back what I said about not buying a Scion.

I could rock this Scion. That looks utterly superb and reminds me of when I saw the MK IV Supra for the first time. Absolutely stunned at how this look, I truly was expecting a let down.

Looks very good, I would like to see it without the concept bling though. Very promising if it stays like that though.

Did I hear both direct and port injection, like in GS350?

Absolutely stunning and breathtaking. Proportions are amazing. They made is more curvaceous than the original concept!

The wheels actually sit flush!!

This thing beats the Ferrari FF in the exterior department.

Kinda funny, the first concept actually looks closer to a production car than this new concept.

Wow, love that concept. Swoopy in a way that still looks functional for a sport coupe.

Overall, the shape looks better and balanced than the black one shown previously.

I just hope they keep the elements on this prototype for production. I know it won't come with 20's, or the cool diffuser, but please keep 90% of this car! If they do, this is selling like crazy.

holy. does this one have wider rear haunches ?

it does look better than the 86ii.

if it comes like this, it will be sold out for months.
