Another car trying for the Miata market....this one seems to be VERY inexpensive.

"Pitched as an entry-level model, the new concept emphasizes responsiveness, and aims to make a whole new generation fall in love with driving, continuing the proud heritage of Toyota's fun-to-drive lightweight sports cars."

Of course we won't get it here, so just another car to go "Facckkkkk" over... I really like this, harkens back to the original Toyota S800. Sure it's a bit girly and it's small, but it looks like a blast.

I like the idea behind it. Small, light and nimble. Only a claimed 130bhp in there but I would imagine it would still be a fun drive.

Can't tell scale from those images. Is it a new platform or did they just remix the FR-S with cheaper components?

[you!]

wow that thing is ugly as fuck

Its new and much smaller than the FRS in size and weight.

that grill. :sweetjesus:

[StylinRed]

I like it, yet I also want to punch it...

The grill is the only thing about that car that I don't like... personally I would love to own a car like this or the S660 as a cheap autocross/track car and summer/weekend driver, especially if they sell at around 15k new.

I can see why "kei" cars will never come to North America, as I doubt they'd pass our safety regulations (and for good reason). I can't see one of these things getting into a crash with your typical bro-dozer lifted F250 and the passengers walking away from it...

Except the Cappuccino looks about 3x better.

[twitchyzero]

why are carmakers recently obsessed with large ass grilles? It works if it's styled aggressively, not on this bubbly eyesore.

OP didn't post any rear shots, so I googled it.

The interior should be able to rotate 180 so you can just drive the other way so you never need to reverse.
