RE: Toyota reveals super-IQ and massaged GT 86

[Escort Si-130]

IQ is still an ugly slap head looking car. I hate the way it looks in real life. In pictures it does not look as bad, but in real, ewwwwwwwwwwwww!

[AlexKing]

Bit off topic, but I saw my first ever real-life Cygnet today. Does anyone know how many of the things they've sold so far.

[k-ink]

I'd love to see a tuning company make the IQ properly quick, just for the sheer comedy value. Perhaps with a properly powerful engine, too large to even fit. Maybe hanging out the back like the old fiat 500s or beach buggies - with no rear bodywork. An IQ which could out run a DB9 would be highly amusing.

The front of the IQ looks like a Cylon form Battlestar Galactica...

Its still ace though lol. When you get pulled by the rozzers you can reply "by your command!"

Again this might come as a surprise to you but, there are people who think the GT86 is very nice looking car and that all Alfa's aren't automatically pretty just because they are Alfa's and because they don't follow all the other sheep in that opinion.

Here's a shocker, the majority of Alfa's are ugly. No scratch that, the majority of Alfa's are FUGLY. There, I said it.

- You are entitled to your opinion, but you're wrong if you believe that Clarkson (or anyone else for that matter) had anything to do with what I think

And the GT86 IS a very nice looking car, I just didn't see what that had to do with Alfa159Ti's Spider - care to elaborate?

i can see the IQ becomming a club favorite for autotesting in a few years

Nah - too damn tall.

The 86 is such a great direction for Toyota to head in, will be interesting to see what price they finally come up with for it outside the promised cheapness of the JDM market, I suspect not as affordable as they originally said it would be.

GT 86 looks great in white, much better than the colour they used before

He (Alfa) has an ugly car. Him saying a nice looking car like the GT86 is ugly is comical. (In a rather pot/kettle type scenario)

All in Moogle's (and my) opinion of course...
