I'm going to talk my woman into one of these if they turn out to be good. She needs a new car in a year or two and I want her to get something that I won't mind driving. She'll not get a 6 speed but it's still better then nothing.

I think this thing looks pretty good.  Not as aggressive as the FR-S concept, but I was really disappointed by the camo mules running around.  It seems the swirls did a good job of hiding the lines of the car.

I think this is the car I've always wanted someone to make.  Compact, light (2667 pounds), affordable (rumored 25k), 200 hp, 2+2 seating and solid roof, and made by pretty reliable automakers.  Unless they really do something to mess it up, I'm interested in getting one.

Love the hips on that. The one downside is that all of Jeremy Clarkson's cocks will get hold of it and add stupid cardboard protrusions and neon lights everywhere.

It looks better than the Subaru version.

I think the front on the Subaru looks better.

- The engineers assured him that there will be two manual gearbox options with different ratios
- The Toyota will be the most affordable of the trio
- The test unit was wearing Michelin Primacy HPs in 215/45 size on 17″ wheels
- They have freed car?s electronics (ECU) so aftermarket industry can tune it at its will
- It?s going to be on sale on June of 2012

Man, I'd love to trade in my GTI for this thing. Of course that would mean depleting whatever savings I have, which would effectively kill this idea of mine, but still.

There's a bit more about it here, although nothing about how much it weighs:
