My favorite thing is that this design eliminates the infotainment screen altogether, instead using a smartphone. This is a great idea as today’s cars will be outdated in no time at all due to the infotainment interface. This would be less expensive and is a more timeless design approach.
This is genuinely exciting to me. I do have questions. For instance, possible aftermarket support for more old school physical gauges? Possible roof types? Otherwise... I'm genuinely EXCITED.
Looking for a daily driver and there just isn’t enough room inside. I have a 2014 A5 Cabriolet which is working fine for now. My dad had a Miata which was fun to drive, but it was more of a weekender type vehicle. You couldn’t comfortably take it on a road trip with two people.
A number of car companies have tried to dethrone the MX-5. I comment Toyota, but it will be a tough row to hoe. The aftermarket has tons of performance and non-performance parts for all 4 generations. Their reliability is well known and ease of maintenance can be seen in thousand of MX- 5 UA-cam videos.
It's a cool little concept and I hope they make something similar. I can think of 9 cars that have tried to compete against the Miata over the last 30 years and they are all gone. There is a reason the MX-5 is still around.
Hideous grill. A mid-engine MR-2 would have a sharp front end. Demographics will never go for this, look at Miata drivers. Older men and women. Gen Z etc do not have the money for a toy to sell in any numbers. Rear looks like a Ricer 4C and that was a flop.
The Toyota S-FR is a joke when it comes to styling. Its gaping puffer fish mouth for a grille and bug-eye headlights are ugly. So is that 'piss yellow' paint.
Sorry, but gotta say... the Miata is way, way, way, way better looking. That Toyota looks like someone smashed a Mini. It just doesn't look anywhere near as sporty as the Miata.
Would you take the Toyota S-FR over a Miata?
Thanks for watching!
if they make manual and cost under 25k. yes
The Miata is a better looking car IMO plus the base S-FR will probably be more expensive than a base Miata.
OFC
Put some eyelash whiskers on it like some Jeep owners' headlights, and it would make a pretty good catfish.
Like an angry Kirby, I would 100% buy this car if it came out

Cool to see concepts in Grand tourismo come to life, again.

How much is it going to go for and is it coming to the United States?

Agreed, there is a small market for roadsters, and the MX-5 is just so hard to beat
The car version of a mouth breather !
There's another car that I think is made in Britain this car looks like but that car uses a Ford power plant.
I’m biased because I have a Miata but this car looks like shit lol
Genuinely, I think it looks kinda dumb too
