It's not all that crazy if you know what you're doing and are good at your job. My good friend worked on both the new NSX and the Civic Type R haha, and hes only been an engineer for like 7 years or so now.

well, i think all three of those will surprise folks to varying degrees, but at the same time I feel most of you have a good grasp of what to expect. it's the small things sometimes, like those vents in the picture above.

oh, there are absolutely PR/marketing folks following this forum... they've been here for some time. In fact, Guff is friends with some of them and has said so as recently as a few days ago in a post he made about them vs engineering lol

bumps are a pain in the ass when your car is low...

there may be a little more to that :D

deliberate PR IMO

it's already starting to come out; look at the thread where the mules are dropping camo ;)

there are a few more things that are going to surprise folks, but that pic gives away a decent amount lol I honestly believe that magazine render is a strategic leak designed to pump up Geneva. man, I can't wait to see people's reactions to the rear.

that's missing the point... their review car did 0-60 in 3.6secs at 3190 pounds. my previous comment was directed at the specs in the article, not the ones posted by the other user.

don't let magazines shape your opinion of the world, unless they are ones rooted in facts after the car is released :)

"The Cayman’s boosted four is more than enough to get 3,190 pounds hustling. Zero to 60 mph happens in 3.6 seconds, and the quarter mile passes in 12 seconds flat at 114.9 mph."

Speculations aside, as a consumer I'd be hard pressed to look past such a hypothetical creation.

yeah, I know the engineer that did the latest proposal for the Silvia and Nissan instead believed 'according to market research' that the Juke was the better move in regards to sales. that has now been proven to be a mistake (the Juke is discontinued) or possibly a lateral move, but either way...

I didn't say anything about there being a manual; another member did infer something based on a comment I made however :)

:thumbsup: as per usual ^

hahaha

some modern cars offer manuals on lesser trims to save on cost and add a 'fun factor' ... who knows? ;)

... really wish I could chime in on the first 9 words in that last paragraph, but oh well, people will have to wait and see what Toyota is doing.

you won't be waiting a whole lot longer before you start seeing/hearing all sorts of stuff from different folks. it's unfortunate I'm not all that helpful anymore, but I've done what I can. I honestly think everyone here has a good enough grasp of the car to understand the current state of...

nah, look at the progression (differences) between that concept and production car. what did they change?
