This is an extremely cynical attempt by Toyota - an all too obvious homage to the 350Z, itself a cynical caricature of the old 240Z.
I have even less respect for Toyota's designs now than before. Just about everything they have brought out in the last few years has been styled to cater for the lowest common denominator. Look back to the mid 80's to the early 90's with styling marvels like the ST162 etc,that were for the most part original, and more importantly looked good. Now all they can do is either jelly moulds or razor sharp edges utilising "styling by machete" - the current Celica and Tarago being prime examples.
A company with such vast resources should be able to do better.
How are they gonna channel 240 Hp through the frot wheels anyway?
