yeah, imho the roofline is very 2000GT, even a bit early ferrari.

The A80 is a tough looking car, but this A90 will be elegant, in my opinion.

I am happy to get lots of shots from GT sport if not many people have it?

Didn't get much more than that and sadly no scoops! I am trying to get my ass into one of those new Corollas though... :D
Just when I though just maybe since the lower side skirt could be changed lol

That’s what im saying....the mules look “out of shape” compared to the concept. I can’t quite describe it, but the mules look too short wheelbased and bloated whereas the concept looks more stretched out and smooth flowing lines. Those side vents are bad....they gotta go or reincarnate the MKIV’s lower side vents.
Does this help?

That looks better!

Those rear fenders are too prominent....really hope Toyota transitions them into the rear pillars like Porsche does with the 911’s. Now I’m asking for too much, I know.

So to not further derail the other threads, post your complaints on the fake vents here. After you express your anger, 1. Get over it, and get your drills handy. Or 2. Start shopping else where, because it is what it is.

Agreed!

Here's a fun discussion, let's (using no scientific data) see what a Dremel could turn these vents into!

Front headlight vents: these can def be purposed for front brake cooling. A molded replacement piece with a tube mount to run brake duct hose to the back of the dustshield will def be developed I think.

Door vents: Now, cutting into the rear quarter is the real concern here. Not a very practical nor reversible thing to do sadly. If you did, then you could use that as a fresh air inlet for rear brakes or a diff cooler.

Fender vents: Now, depending on what the underside of the front clamshell looks like, these could be used for heat extraction for the engine bay. The main concern is whether or not the vent placement actually creates enough of a low pressure area in front of the vents in order to pull the higher pressure engine bay air out. This works well on FRS/BRZ as the recessed fender vent does indeed create an area of lower pressure. Could be a cool mod to look at once we get this car in a CFD sim.
