-ground effects (front skirt, side skirts)
-brakes (obviously not carbon ceramic, smaller, not mounted to the wheel)
-LED headlights (probably projector halogens with maybe HID accessory)
-door handles (weird to place their anyway)
-mirrors (larger)
-hood vents
-SCION rear lights

everyone on the internet needs to email the toyota N.A president to keep this design, with nothing but front and rear bumper modifications for production.

if this gets scionified or tC'd, it will be Fail. the rest of the scion line up is so damn ugly, esp the new tC

I think what needs to happen is Lexus execs need to tie up the Scion ones, steal this car and badge it a Lexus.

Color is cool...rims are puketastic.

I think that red will probably be one of the best colors on the car.

Toyota/Lexus needs to just build more coupes. PERIOD. It is now clear with a clean sheet (not like the IS C) they still know how to design amazing cars. The LFA proved this and now so does this concept (and the others).

I've nearly totally forgotten about the GSh concept. This just blows it out the water.

Absolutely STUNNING! .

Look how low it is! Look how evil and menacing it looks! I would be nervous seeing that thing come up on my rear view on the street!

Whatever you do Toyota, keep the production car as CLOSE to this concept as possible!
