It is an interesting concept but I do not like the styling. Looks like Toyota’s rendition of the new civic. They should make it look more like the old AE86, just updated a little. I hate it when they come out with remakes of old cars that look absolutely nothing like the old version. How is this a remake of the old corolla? Just because it is RWD and light does not make it an AE86. I can’t believe I am saying this but they need to take a page from Ford and Chevy with their remakes of the Mustang and Camaro which actually use visual and design cues from the older models. ---

If its like the older ae86s… they arent the most apealing by look but when you drive on… yes its an underpowered 4cly that just revs… its really fun to take bends. ---

I’ve been hearing this rumor too. Except I heard they were debating using a scaled down Lexus IS platform and either the 1.8 motor they shove in all their small cars or maybe even the 2.4 outta the TC. Either way, might start a small car RWD war among some of the companies. Unlikely, but I can dream lol. I’ll probably pick up a used S2000 and call it a day. ---

I don’t care what it looks like, if its cheap, light, and rwd its all good. Nissan is rumored to be putting out something similar (the urge concept was an early study). Also, Hyundai and Kia seem to have rwd sporty cars in the works as well. ---

wow things just bounce from rr-ax to racepa to here. I read the same thread four times inside of one hour. The real question is will these ever make it to market. Lots of companies have dabbled in cars like this, some even making it all the way past prototype stages and media attention only to scrap the project quietly after the noise dies down. ---
