I'm really liking the 86, the philosophy of the car appeals to me. Would love to take one for a spin when they hit our shores next year.










Although I think if I got one it would be with the all black interior!

Front on looks like a Nissan... Inside looks plasticy. Scuff panels look odd. And the steering wheel...seats look great though!

I love the looks of it, I'm thinking about buying one new when they come out, although there's no way to be sure how much they'll cost here yet. And they're only NA and I want to have a fast car first

Haha yeah, who would've thought a car made by Subaru and Toyota wouldn't be ugly.

The price will start with a 3...i can tell you that much.

and they're a 5x100 stud pattern - i mean, WTF really. Did Subaru have a heap of hubs left over from the old WRXes - or Toyota a pile of Celica ones? lol

Little bit of 370z and a bit of LFA from some angles. The idea is that the car will be very customiseable, partially explains the average bits and pieces. Truthfully, Subaru being involved is probably the real explanation for the average interior.

Interesting, love the fact that the president was a test/development driver.

Jeez, 0-100 in 6s is a lot better than i was expecting. I don't mind the price starting with a 3, as long as the top spec model also starts with a 3
