I like that, especially the wheels.

Doesn't look like a Lexus. Bit 370z in the second picture. Not for me.

I like it. Has a hint of Lexus LF-A and 370Z. Is it a 2 seater or 2+2?

From the position of the front seats and the angle of the rear window, I'd say there are probably token rear ones.

It slopes down well at the front doesn't it? S2000? There are shades of lots of other nice things in it too but I think that the inside is a complete mess. If it had a more conventional instrument panel and consol I'd like it more but I do hate pretend rear seats so I hope they're either real or just not there.

I like this. A lot.

Apparantly it's inspired by the AE86, which is a cult car in Asia.

A qualified yes for me. Would like to see a bit more of it.

No looker from the front:

Writes cheques that it's butt can't cash, if the 140-160bhp quoted chez Autocar is correct. A rear end like that needs 250+:

My view deteriorated as I read down the thread.
First impressions side on are pretty nice, but needs different wheel.
Yes the interior is a big new age, but no show stopper.
But oh dear, it seems to need more power.
And oh my giddy aunt, the front and back a hideous.

BeN · Posted: Tue Oct 06, 2009 2:02 pm Post subject:

150bhp is only for the Tokyo concept car.

The production version will get anything from 200 to 250bhp.

And as it's a standard Scooby engine, there's plenty of scope for tweaking, and plenty of people who know how to do it. I imagine Mr Litchfield will be importing some tasty ones.

Obviously fake exhausts.

Why?

Looks very Jap-generic. Will the Scooby have different styling?

Love it.

I like that, but it is a bit Nissan 370Z-like.
