If Nissan fucks up and goes to NICO, I will start plotting an assassination scheme...

But yeah, if Nissan talks to Zilvia (PREMIES ONLY, hehe), then I'd be delighted to give some input on the next Silvia/-SX/whatever.

FT-HS Hints at next Supra

Usually we would have no reason to report on a concept that we've already seen debut. Hence, the Australian debut of Toyota's hybrid FT-HS sports car concept at the Melbourne Auto Show isn't really news. It becomes news, however, when a suit from Toyota Australia makes a veiled comment about the next Supra and its possible ties to the FT-HS. Peter Evans, corporate manger of product planning for Toyota Australia, said "To really appreciate the FT-HS, think of it as a 'Prius on steroids'. Alternatively, it could be a vision for a Toyota Supra of the future." Whaa?

Had this quote been given on the show floor amidst a throng of journalists, one might be able to pass it off as a slip of the tongue. The quote, however, appears in Toyota Australia's press release for the FT-HS debut down under, which can be read in full after the jump. This means it passed by the eyes of countless PR people whose job it is to vet press releases for embarrassing mistakes. This suggests that the quote is not a case of Evans opening his mouth and inserting foot, but rather was meant to be there, perhaps to whet our appetites, stoke our interest and get us all talking. Job well done, Toyota, because otherwise we would have completely ignored the umpteeth debut of the FT-HS in another country.

I give Hyundai an A for effort. For what it's worth, it's really not that bad looking. There's some stuff that kinda bug me, like the bottom of the quarter window, the bottom half of the front bumper, and that slash thing (don't know what to call it) just underneath the windows. I think it's got potential and I look forward to what the aftermarket has in store for it. It would be cool if somebody made an aero similar to the one from the concept version, with the exception of the front bumper having the opening in the center instead of two on the sides to accommodate a front mount.

Kn1ves · 03-17-2008, 03:35 AM

Rear end looks great.

Front end, I can do without.

Perhaps one of those cars, I have to meet in person.

The grill is creating too much of a vacuum effect.
Feels like a void isn't filled in properly.

SimpleS14 · 03-17-2008, 05:38 AM

Seek peek at the Solstice coupe...

On the tabbed box below the G8 wheel, click on the '2' tab and you will see a small pic of the Solstice coupe.

If your lost...just look at the screenshot posted on autoblog:
http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/16/n...ed-on-pontiac/

I can't wait to see some live pics of the car....looks promising.

I think the front fascia is a little awkward looking. I'd rather see three separate openings then just one with the shape it's in now.

EDIT: Like this.

axiomatik · 03-17-2008, 09:17 AM

Typical Hyundai styling, sad and awkward. Headlights look like poo, grill looks like an afterthought, rear bumper looks like they were trying to copy the Mercedes CLS, but it melted in the sun. Rear quarter glass is a lame 'look-at-me' gimmick. Tail lights are copied from a Lexus ES.

But, what can we expect from the company that brought us beauties like the sonata?

*exitspeed* · 03-17-2008, 09:36 AM

Dead nuts. But unfortunately they are the first to give us the what we've all been asking for.

I think once the Maxima debuts this week Nissan will start concentrating on hyping up the new 240.

speaking of, i saw a new FX35 today, shit looks hot in person.

and im intreged to see what the maxima will look like, because it will most likely influence the next gen Altima.

Looks 10x better in red imo.

*exitspeed* · 03-17-2008, 10:37 AM

Some more gay ass Print Shop Pro-hacking.

Dropped it and changed some more.

SimpleS14 · 03-17-2008, 10:50 AM

hahaha...nice edit.

Looks nice dropped.

axiomatik · 03-17-2008, 10:52 AM

looking better. there's too many lines converging on the front end, makes the car look constipated.

*exitspeed* · 03-17-2008, 02:40 PM

Another terrible attempt as a chop. It's not me it's the program and I'm sticking to my story.

Droppededed, different headlights, fixed the quarter window and changed the front fascia.

Dutchmalmiss · 03-17-2008, 02:43 PM

^^ actually that one would look better if you 'shopped a FMIC in that open space.

I don't even think I can do that with this gay ass program.

Matej · 03-17-2008, 03:05 PM

Well I'm sold.

s13poop · 03-17-2008, 03:25 PM

you made the hyundai so happy

*exitspeed* · 03-19-2008, 09:32 AM

According to Autoblog Hyundai is planning a hard top vert, a targa, and get this...a LIGHTWEIGHT version!

Looks good. Too bad the fascia and headlights aren't actually like that.

muddafakka · 03-19-2008, 11:35 AM

OMG yes. That looks a million times better. Hyundai needs to come to Zilvia and check this out.
