I think both versions look pretty good. The Hyundai might have some competition coming its way.

If they keep the weight and price down on these, and offer strong/moddable powerplants from the factory, it's possible I'd end up with one of these over one of the latest crop of chubby "Pony Cars".

If that's accurate, then, incredibly, Subaru might have the better looking version (now holding on to desk firmly in anticipation of Earth tilting on axis).

Truly. Forget the Toyota version. I'd consider this if it does see production and stays true to the light weight, RWD, low(er) cost 2 door 2+2 coupe formula. Could also lead to a Exodus of Genesis buyers over to Subaru dealerships.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
