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

I personally like the Suby and like most have said the aftermarket support im sure will be there very very quickly. So it has potential to be much much better.

FFFFFFFFFF a new car.

2013 Scion FR-S: 10 Things You Don't Know

If it does come with a turbo, they better leave the TB facing forward. I want to see the turbo down low on the front right lower corner of the motor. This will allow for more space easier intercooler plumbing and larger turbos. They better not put the ontercooler up top either. I want Evo style intercooler smilling at you.

Please see recent Pedestrian Safety Legislation for why that gaping void of nothingness can never be filled with anything turbo-related.

All cars slated for sale in Europe have been getting this treatment and no one with an eye for style is loving it. I think America has now signed into law very similar legislation.

It's been a hot topic for the last couple years. You'd think a writer for edmonds would know this.

Having the Cayman as a benchmark is pretty good. I admire the Cayman a lot. It was actually on my list of cars to think about when I get some grown up loot.

Thumbs up to the engineering team for using the Porsche as a benchmark.

Supercharged Scion FR-S, yummmmmm. That would be very fun.

Subaru and Toyota have already given select companies demo cars........... Subaru has already developed a gt300 racer. When the Subaru engineers have been asked if there will be an Sti/turbo model they smerk and walk away. And seriously......... What car has Subaru made that you couldn't get a side of turbo since 05? If anyone mentions the tribeca stfu. We pretend that car doesn't exist

I like the possible distinction between the two brands. Supercharger whine get a Scion. Turbo spool get the Sube.

i promise there are big things in store for this little coupe. and dont be fooled, both the toyota and subaru are nearly ALL subaru. they paired up because toyota is more synonymous with performance RWD to the common american and subaru is more of an "acquired taste" in the eyes of many americans much like saab. BUTTTTTTTTTTTT subaru is at THE TOP of their game. read any mag or auto blog and you will see subaru is one of the only companies that actually seemed to benefit from the rough financial times.
one of my fav quotes from autoblog.com look up subarus monthly national sales numbers and you will be speechless. (all of the above is true for all but the tribeca.......red headed step child of the scoob line up....fuck that car lol)
