The profile looks good; the rear is okay; the front looks awful. They really need to smoothen out the front; it looks like they threw in a bunch of random shapes.
The interior (especially the tach) looks good as well.

In love with it, only NA motor on the same level would have to be the Italia's. See BMW, you can make top level NA motors AND meet emissions, Toyota is even humbling you.
All I want to know is the cost, if it starts with a 1 it will be a winner.

Nice.
Wow, nice execution by Toyota. The sound of that engine is sweet.. 
With a production run of only 500 vehicles, I would not be too surprised if a substantial number of them have been spoken for already in Japan and some of the other Far East countries. It will probably be a classic like the iconic Toyota 2000GT from the 1960's.

Wow that price is just outrageous! I cannot see myself buying this over a Gallardo even, let alone a Murc. or a 599 even.
I have to say the interior is sick, but at that price, you can buy yourselves better things...
