I don’t get excited about new cars. There’s no reason to want anything too bad, because so little is attainable to me, and what little is, is usually tragic.
No Mitsubishi, I don’t want a Mirage. I really don’t.
This is intriguing though. It’s genuinely light, 2000ish lbs I think. It’s small, it’s rear-wheel drive, and it should be cheap. Cheaper than the FRS/BRZ at least. It’s the first new car I’ve seen that actually makes me picture living with it every day, whether it’s something I’d want to keep for a long time, and considering paying car payments instead of getting something else cheap of craigslist.
There’s very little I dislike about it. The interior looks great, extremely basic, which I like. It looks like a new car that could actually last without being dated terribly by some very of the time navigation system like so many new cars will be. There’s something very old school about the layout and execution, like modern Sports 800/S600/MG, which was the intention I think.
So yeah. Please bring this to Canada, Toyota. I’m pretty sure I’ll buy one.

God I love this car. It’s too bad the Veloster Rally Edition came out before this. I would have bought this if I could resist the Rally for another year. But I couldn't.

I didn't know that was a thing until now but wow that really looks good. Hyundai and Kia have been growing on me, this is continuing the growing...

They had a huge sale when I bought it. It might still be going on. But Hyundai doesn’t have the SFR. Unless you can find a Veloster Rally Edition where you live, SFR is the way to go.

I’m now realizing I’m extremely into the modern interpretation of the 60s 2 seater small sports car, and the Veloster isn’t that, but it seems to be sure as hell worth a second look. Vancouver gets a decent selection of almost everything, so there’s a solid possibility there’d be at least one here. I am pretty set on the S-FR though

Oh that’s fine. A hot hatch won’t ever be a pure sports car like the S-FR. It’s just I already have the Miata so the SFR would have been a bit redundant. But bonus perk is that it has back seats!

Lord let it have over 150hp and make it to the u.s.a. Lest I just by a z3 coupe instead.
