Thread: Toyota FT-86 / Subaru BRZ: Japanese (not Siamese) Twins

Looks like its going to be a nice car if they keep the weight down.

that is wicked nice. what are the motor specs?

W o w!

They are still shopping around concepts of it? What's the deal?
Also, why did they completely rice it out for this show?

are they still going to use the scobby engine?

yup. and its supposedly going to be built in the scooby factory. and i think the car was designed mainly by subaru? the car is more subaru than toyota

anyways im not a fan of the looks really, but thank god theyre bringing out a new rwd turbo setup. the world need em.

It is pretty ricey, but I'm sure it'd be toned down since we're looking at a concept. Should be a great selling car as long as Toyota can convince the world that they didn't build it, so there shouldn't be any gas pedal issues.

I don't see how that is ricey in any way... Maybe the lights on the front bumper... but I think it looks pretty bad ass.

My thoughts exactly. I hate it when it feels like the process is becoming an unfocused trainwreck.

On the other hand, the 350Z had at least one major redo before they started down the right path.

(Remember this?)
