It's cheaper then I thought it would be. I don't know if I'm blind or what, but it has no visual appeal to me :(! It looks all out of proportion. Maybe once I see it in the flesh out on the road I will change my mind.

I'm with you on this. It's never grabbed my eye as a cohesive, good looking car. That said I'll be watching the resale market over the next few years as the first owners take the depreciation hit.

+1 for me there on the looks on paper...

I think its the horrid factory wheels more than anything, slightly lower and on some decent looking wheels and I think it'd look great.
This is THE MR2/Celica replacement that we've been waiting a long time for - GTS is the one to get.

For me it's the huge seemingly bland C pillars contrasting against the intricate and detailed front end that just seem a little off. Undecided about the wing. Either way CMI Toyota will have them on the showroom floor on the 18th of June so I'll be sure to check them out.

^ I'll come for a look to see if it can change my mind. I don't like the front section of the car. A Celica replacement maybe, but I'm yet to believe it's an MR replacement

haha you can't see it when you're behind the wheel though Scott :P
IMO It's also an MR replacement because it handles and is RWD :)

I've read that the handling is closer to midship than conventional FR because of how far rearwards they managed to position the engine.

wow should handle better than an RX7;
I suspect not much would keep up to it through the twisties

Big statement there buddy, the RX7 is a force to be reckoned with

especially FDs
I personally think it's quite a sexy modern style car coupled with fair price
