Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ Thread

[mynameisdaniel]

Stemming on from the discussion in the Random Car Image thread, Subaru have just released details about the production version of their car. No where near as pretty as the Toyota IMO.

yeah, i cant beleive that they managed to **** that up with that bucktooth bumper..
the cars are 95% similar, and they took a VERY good looking car and managed to make it look mediocre.. HA good on ya subie

[smurfy]

toyota 86 looks alot better. subaru has just got nuts lately with most of the new cars being ugly

[derb]

Really not digging this to be honest. I dislike the look of the car and the NA boxer motor. It does mark a return to the market of cheap, rwd sports cars, but it's not doing anything for me.

More info on the BRZ. I almost prefer it to the 86...but i think it's only because that stupid badge is gone from the front quarter.

That little piece just past the fenders is 100% show too. Nothing actually vents through or from there.

HI!
the 86 boxer badge looks awesome IMO haha
derb
the car did very well in its class (came 3rd i think) when they entered a racepreped version in to the nurb race few months ago
there are a TON of people that are pissed that this wont be FI'd and even more so since leeky told us that the engineer from toyota disclosed that there are no plans for it ever, but from what i have gathered, the mounts are very simmilar if not same on the FB and the EJ so thare might be some very early swaps.
the engine in there is 2L and has 200bhp at 12.5:1 CR and is apparently a very rev happy one.
i cant wait to test drive this, but unless the fuel economy is VERY good thanks to the D4-S, i wont be getting rid of the 8 any time soon

I think it does too! Nice little touch on an otherwise vanilla car design wise.



The tailights on the BRZ look better than the 86 ones, but the 86 is the one I would buy.

At this rate, the story is that the BRZ won't be coming to Australia due to the marketing of subaru being all4the driver. But that's just a story from a Subaru exec from a long time ago (wrt this car)
the best part is that the pannel that the 86 badge is on is removable so if someone doesn't like it off t goes
There is a full leaked Japanese catalogue on ft86club that had been kindly translated by ichi
I will upload it here later (or link to the ft86 site)

An opportunistic thief!

[chicaboo]

I love that Toyota finally has a totally sick duck design that everybody likes, and Subaru are continuing their recent tradition of borrowing design elements from other marques [grill from Ford/Peugeot]. And I have to say the 86 boXXXer logo is awesome!

Personally i think it looks better like this haha.

lmao, besides it being slammed, thats not half bad.
