here's a concept from a few years ago... not too bad, needs to be sharpened a bit though!

concepts back then had an Altezza front end look...but i don't think it'll be that. also, my bro-in-law, who works for Toyota said that they're not releasing it in the States...what's up with that?

My cousin's uncle's sister's third cousin said it was, so there!

Seriously though, "insiders" typically know jack when it comes to what's coming down the pipeline. Unless your brother-in-law is in upper management then take anything he says with a grain of salt. (Note that I'm not trying to insult your b-in-law, that's just how things are.)

I'd love to see a new, affordable RWD coupe come from at least one of the Japanese manufactures.

He could be right or wrong. I don't think the article Chino posted is the gospel truth either. Pretty much all the rumors in the auto world are just that - rumors. Unless it comes from someone high up in the corporate ranks I don't put much faith in it.
