RE: LA Show: Subaru BRZ vs Toyota FT-86

Show pics....

The BRZ looks quite good actually.

[Hellbound]

Not sure about the front end but it'll look mighty fine in the metal. I'm actually glad Subaru have kept it simple.

[mazdajason]

That looks the absolute business.

[TankRS]

give it a smaller bootlid style spoiler, lose a few inches of the spliter (before the british potholes do it for you) and i'm well happy to chuck a deposit down!

[budgie smuggler]

Are the engine output numbers finalised for these yet?

I believe not, but it looks almost certain to be between 200 and 250bhp, from what I've read.

Take that wing off!

[BUG4LIFE]

No, keep the wing! I love this and I hope it does wonders for Subaru - I'll want one

[VeeDub Geezer]

I think that wing looks better than the older style wing. Not sure if it would have suited the coupe shape...

[JohnS]

Mirrors look a bit on the small side!

its still being shown as a Concept . . . expect production mirrors to be the size of a suitcase (as seems to be the trend theses days, mirrors on new cars are mahoosive!)

i'd guess someone somewhere will retrofit that spoiler on one!

and i'm not so sure it would look out of place . . . that said i'll keep my opinion untill i see it in real life or as a well shopped image

[Daston]

Looks ace apart from the rear arches, those lines are horrid

[ukaskew]

There is no way that front splitter will make it to production surely (crash regs?), a good thing in my opinion as the less fussy this is starting to look as it nears production the better.
