2011 Toyota RWD Coupe rendering



from:
http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-new...g-ar59929.html

As you know, Toyota and Subaru are working on a new RWD model that will be built under both logos and is set to be launched in 2011. After we brought you a TopSpeed impression of how the Subaru version might look like, here’s now the Toyota version.

The car will be inspired by the classic rear-drive AE86 Toyota Corolla GT coupe from the 1980s. But, the Subaru version will also get its design by the Impreza, although it will shortened, lightened and will have a coupe body.

The 2010 RWD Coupe (we don’t know the name yet) will be powered by 2.0-liter flat four engine that will deliver 175bhp (for the naturally aspired version). Subaru will also unveil a 2.5-liter turbocharged version few months after the standard version.

Looks like the love child of a Mazda RX-8 and an Audi whatever.

Not bad if it's going to be cheap. I like it's going to be RWD, are you watching GM?? Looks like you could put an L on the grille with no problem.

Re: 2011 Toyota RWD Coupe rendering

Yay! Lets bring in Lexus' design philosophy into Toyota. Then we can be just like Nissan and Infiniti looking alike and making consumers ponder the Infiniti premium.

Using Subaru engines instead of the trusty 1.8 liter engine. However, that thing will sell like crazy here in SoCal.

Re: 2011 Toyota RWD Coupe rendering

I dont know if anyone has noticed this, but toyota, honda and nissan are just blurring the line between their luxury lines and basic lines. This looks like it could be the Lexus IS coupe. But for toyota.

Re: 2011 Toyota RWD Coupe rendering

Nothing special in the looks department; in fact, it seems that they couldn't decide exactly what they wanted the front end to be.
