Or a Vauxhall/Opel Astra, which I'm sure Lexus are not trying to emulate.

Well, Mr Toyoda did say he loved teh Scirocco and wanted to make a similar car with Toyota. It will probably be based on that.

That looks pretty nice to me! I'd be very curious to see it in a 2 door, and see what the final price point will be.

I hate the wheels, among other things. And no doubt the final price point will be 'way over my head . . .

I can't see any C30 in that... More so parts of the Scirocco, Astra GTC and the odd Hyundai Sonata pieces

I saw it at the Detroit auto show, and thought it was an interesting design. Not necessarily pretty, but interesting. Lots of strong character in it, plus it is hunkered down giving it a sporty appearance. The wheels are a bit much, but it is a showcar. Those wheels are covering some rather large brakes!
