Uh...really? This thing is hideous. Reminds me of those awful poorly fitted body kits. Look at that front fender and how it flows immediately after. They really couldn't get the lines to meetup in a non-stupid way? Was this the result of bring your kid to work day in the Toyota design department?

The back end is salvageable, but could use some tweaking. That spoiler looks bad, and they could've easily fixed it. See that spot where the Toyota badge is just above the license plate? Why not put the spoiler along the vertical edge of the trunklid? It will look a lot cleaner, plus they could've styled it and the tailights to flow into each other, or if nothing else would be like a lip above it. Of course they could've restyled the trunklid itself making it even more integrated and flush with the bodywork. I mean, considering its a concept (that very likely won't see production just due to the powertrain), so why not just take modeling clay or body filler and shape it before painting.

Pretty much what I was thinking. I really don't like Totota's design language for Lexus, Prius, Corolla, or Camry... I have to assume it's a design-by-committee approach, or otherwise they have some completely weird philosophy of deliberately making ugly cars to appeal to practically-minded people. I'm guessing Subaru fought some Toyota execs to get the 86 (BRZ/FR-S) to look the way it does.

I assume it is just an FR with a two seat targa style body. I'm ehh.
If it was a new MR-2 design I would be in heaven.
If it was a new rwd supra with a V-8 and a lightweight body I would be in 7th heaven, regardless of the look.

That thing looks slick, until you get to the back end (at least, in the first image) that's a different color/finish than the car. Looks like they cut the end off one of those hideous Civics and glued it on. I don't know wtf these designers are thinking

Not to derail the topic, but the Honda Sports EV, on the other hand, looks gorgeous. Too bad it's an EV... no stick shift. I could see it being a really fun car to drive. Looks like something you'd see in Star Wars in the 60s.

Love opinions in car design threads. Why even post? Everyone hates it or loves it, cool!

Yep, overwhelmingly everyone concentrates on the superficial looks, and is eager to share their irrelevant subjective opinion of the superficial looks.

Recently I posted about the Nifty TJ Cruiser, which I like because of the practical packaging, and all you get is how ugly it is.

I bet that for the most part the view will be mostly negative on just about any new design, because people mainly enjoy complaining.

I was watching some kid's education show recently & the bad guy was hiding behind the bushes, spying on the good guys, and was like, we need to go over and tell them exactly how wrong they are! Hahahaha.
