Toyota clone or just a guess?

Was one of them a cover talking about drifting? The picture is a 370z Nismo and then a few pages in they start talking about the concept cars that will launch in the next 12 months, one of which is the new Toyota 4 cylinder/RWD/2+2 seater. The Toyota looks like a lot of cars from different angles, borrows design cues from others.

Its the FT-86...its supposed to be a remake of the famous AE-86 from the anime Inital D. Its also the only RWD corolla. Supra would be great, but IMO they prob considering the LFA their "supra".

it's not just because of anime

i loved the little AE86 long before i ever got into japanese cartoons

the FT-86 is supposed to be a pretty mature design exterior-wise, but the interior is still a bit star trek-y.

yeah but i'm too young to remember see one in person

soo the anime was my first reference. Plus I've owned a couple of Best Motoring International where they had the AE86 in some touge battles.
