RE: Toyota S-FR concept for Tokyo

I have to say i'm interested about this car. Pistonheads did actually drive Sport 800 few years ago:

It seems that they did like it. Damn.

So it will seat four people if you can get your legs through the front seat and inside the person in front

I'm not particularly in to Japanese cars but really like the look of this. True back to basics motoring as its best. Would take one over a GT-86 I think

It is as much as "2+2" seater as golf gti is "fun"!

Well at least their pic is honest . No way four grown people will fit at all. But for kids, longer trips or for ferrying around a set of wheels...

It sure is. The pictures of the S-FR make it look small. I never remember the 924 being known as a small car - one for the classics dwarved by moderns thread! Oh and could you imagine this Toyota packing a three litre, four cylinder engine?

Just what I was going to post. The 924 certainly wasn't small back in the day, it may seem it now but so do most things from back then, even the Jensen Interceptor.

Yeah funny how perception changes. Never felt small inside or on the road back then. Three litre 4 pot certainly sounds fantastic, but I don't want to be the one starting the 'could use more ooomph' debate . Wishes: they actually make it, sell it in Europe and they start releasing more cars in that styling direction. Not holding my breath though...
