I think its quite an interesting looking car. Hats off to Toyota for trying to break into this sector. It could be the start of something, have this car as the halo model and then bring out a range of smaller, more affordable enthusiast orientated cars. New Celica and Supra anyone? I wonder if they'll be able to use the GT500 name, what with the Shelby car and all.

Should be able to. The GT500 moniker is derived from the GT500(ps) class in Japanese Super GT racing, which Toyota takes part in. Though they actually use a JZA80 Supra body with a 5.3 liter 3UZ V8.
