Will fake vents stop you from buying the new Supra?

Looks like the vent is not functional per this picture.. unless they're purposely blocking it for now?

So, at the next car show, Toyota san will replace this old worn out camo with a brand new camo; they will likely change the wheel design a bit and give us the incredible news that the car will have between 300 and 400 hp and between 300 and 400 ft/lb and they will show us the top of the steering wheel and part of the passenger seat. And they will tell us it will cost between $30,000 and $80,000 and will weigh in approx. between 3200 lbs and 3500 lbs and will actually have exactly, no less and no more but exactly 2 doors and exactly 4 wheels with four standard issue tires plus a temp in the back.

I can hardly hold my breath...

I'm sorry dude but...

It probably will have fix-a-flat instead of a spare tire.

:D

it's not functional, nor are the ones on the front bumper afaik.

not sure about the ones on the clamshell, but I assume they're all the same. for folks asking why? because of Calty, the FT-1, and everyone saying how much they loved that design lol.

Making vents functional that don't need to be functional seems like an odd choice. It's not going to happen. They are cosmetic, just like many other aspects of the design.

I don't really like using fake vents as a cosmetic design element, but they're part of the concept styling.

Fake vents used to bother me more, they're so commonly used now that I'm getting over it.

A "non-fake," open vent, with no purpose is just as bad.

Impressed with the exhaust piping diameter from factory.
I hope they don't do to the USDM Supra what they did with the FRS/BRZ upon release. They had two different sized exhaust tips for USDM compared to every other market.

Is it common for pre-production cars to have VINs?
