i saw in an article somewhere that the Toyota vehicle was for Japan only and the US would get the Subraru version.

I don't know if you caught the Autoline Detroit (In LA) feature on Toyota this past weekend but they had this sneak peek at a car in the studio. Looks like it could be something like this or a production FT-HS(?!)

If that actually comes out, I'll be one of the first to jump on it

From the looks of it, that's the FT-HS. Nice find!

yeah that sneak peak's front does look like FT-HS
but i thought FT-HS is already in like 70% readiness for production
is clay modeling normal at the 70% mark?

Maybe it was filmed awhile back, but they couldn't show it when the FT-HS wasn't shown yet, and now they have filmed enough footage and finished the editing

Nah... this was filmed pretty recently. I'm as I think about what it is. Agree it is odd to see based on timing.

Edit: After looking it seems this was filmed in late April or early May.

Actually it's 85% production ready according to the designers of the FT-HS. Rumor had it it was going to be released summer 2009. I hope the rumor turns out to be true because I've got my money saved up!

I would if I had the money but if it's a high performance sports car, I don't think I'm ready for one yet.... I'd like one but probably won't do me any good financially hahaha.

iQ is good too. I'm eyeing on that or the next gen Prius.
