I wish these fun and affordable cars were in the pipeline and eventually available when I was younger.
Hope that thing pushes some good power, cuz it sure is hideous.

Yes, Toyota bought GM's interest in Subaru, and is using Subaru for its engines and awd systems for small cars, like GM did with Saab.
Toyota has failed in delivering fun small cars for the youth market like it wanted to. The average age of Scion buyers is in the 60s, for example.

That car looks like Toyota's version of a Hyundai Genesis.
The Hyundai fails for me because it's kinda big and heavy at 3300-3400 lb.
Hoping against hope for this car to come in well under 3000 lb., hopefully closer to 2600. Toyota's been pretty good at keeping weight in check relative to other manufacturers, so hope isn't necessarily totally unfounded...
[QUOTE]I'd love to see Toyota make a fun car again.
