Gotta admit, that trailer gets my withers all afired. I can't wait for all the bromance looks.
Especially now that it seems the Rock is getting some major screen time for the Love Triangle angle with Vin and the Blonde Guy.
Is it just me, or is anyone else astonished that the clouds in the poster don't somehow approximate the shape of a "6"?
Eva Mendes, who appeared in the mid-credits epilogue for part 5, doesn't seem to be in this one, but she's replaced - spiritually if not literally - by Gina Carano, which feels like a plus after seeing the MMA-style fight she gets to have with Michelle Rodriguez in the clip. As for Europe being the setting - it's pretty clear that when Universal finally puts out a box set of these movies, they want it to appeal to every global market.
Is Luke Evans really enough of a threat to the combined forces of Rock-Diesel-Carano and everybody else, though? He does appear to have a very fast tank, which helps.
I really hope this isn't showing us all the money shots upfront. If the rest of the run-time is talk, it'll be a deal-breaker. But if the whole thing looks like this, congrats, Justin Lin, for bringing me back after losing me...a second time. (Hated 3, loved 4, and I know that's a minority opinion.)
The 3+ minute trailer is embedded after the jump.

And they all went to Witch Mountain where Mad Max was waiting and shot them all. The End.
I know they're not exactly geeky but I LOVE all of the Fast and Furious films!! (Yes this even includes Tokyo Drift. It reminded me of the comic Initial D...)
So... Yeah I have massively sploojed in my pants over this trailer
One of the biggest reasons I'm looking forward to seeing this movie is because of Joe Taslim. Probably one of the first (if not already) Indonesian actor to be featured in a Hollywood movie, even if it means playing a mook. Looks badass though, what with kicking that guy (I don't really pay that much attention to actors who play side characters) through the glass.
And yes, I'm an Indonesian.
Man, I can't wait to not watch this movie! I think I'll do it today, and then do ita gain tomorrow!
@chefjmh And what exactly was your problem with the movies? I have seen the first one and the fifth one and while i'm not a car guy, i can appreciate this for what it is. The acting is a little over the top but the action sequences are pretty good.
@Canadian.Scott @chefjmh
It's typical Hollywood action crap with some car porn thrown in, and it's the sixth one of them... How this concept could possibly hold anyone's interest that long completely escapes me. I dub it "Cars go fast VROOOOM Part Six: The Vrooomining!"
wound up regretting not seeing Fast 5 in theaters so will be going to see this one hopefully will be nearly as good as there making it look.

I like to believe that Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson are the same person from different timelines and that the F&F franchise has to employ Parent Trap technology to have them both on screen at the same time.
@Shemp I like to think they're alt. world versions of each other that haven't decided who gets to stay yet.
I have three words for this trailer: "Impressive, Most Impressive".
As for the clouds not forming a "6", that was a missed opportunity by the marketing department.

@DrAbraxas Considering that these are still "prequels" to Tokyo Drift...yes, "crappy sequels" is a good answer.
