What are your thoughts/impressions of this long awaited "AE86" revival?

Can't tell so much from this pic, but it just might be pretty cool. Competition is tough. There's a lot of pretty good looking high performance cars for reasonable prices (depending on what you define was reasonable.)

looks way too much like a Z mixed with a Genisis Coupe

its small vs the genesis, length and width closer to the Z, but does have a 2+2 style, RWD NA 4 with 200hp for ~20k

But i dunno either, i really liked the concept photos and stuff of this car, and have been following it for the 3 years or so its been touted about, but seeing the 2012 mustang GT go for about 26k lately i just dont see how Toyota is going to use the "value" angle, no matter how good it handles, the mustang is still a better "value" at over 200hp more and some very respectable handling for a car of its size

The GT would probably manhandle this car stock to stock in every category.

Cool car, but I think it has 195hp which is at least 100hp too little. Put a forged internal turbo 4 in one and we'll talk.

Gay. That Shit is over before it started. There are too many options with more power.

I see both sides of this argument, it's cute(I mean cool!) and it's a good price point, but it's gonna have to put down a mean track record to persuade people from these other options at a slightly higher retail

The key is to sell it for Honda civic Nissan central money. Then they can move units. There are young kids that the extra 10k is a non starter, but don't want a front wheel drive car. All those America hating ricers

Word. The GT has matched the M3 in everything so far except the price, and maybe the interior, even though i LOVE the mustang interior. No contest, used GT for me over this car.
