C'mon, u guys know better than to comment on a test mule that is heavily disguised. The whole point is to throw ppl off so u can be assured the end product will be totally different. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Looking past the hackness of it, I like the overall basic shape. Can't wait to see the real thing.

why is it that we do not see running prototypes of the ft-86? maybe i missed them but all the ft-86's that i've seen are static displays at auto shows, none of which have ever had an open hood to show this new DI boxer engine... have they left it to subaru to do all the drivetrain development work using these fugly test mules?

if this is the subaru version....i guess the toyota version will look better because i dont see it getting any worse. I really hope its a real coupe unlike the rx8.

^ there's 2 versions? i thought they both(subaru & toyota) collaborated to create this? :S
also, my guess on the "vw corrado" body style is probably related to the ae86. cause i've read from a while ago and forgot where, that toyota's making a "new ae86" with the help of subaru =P i could be wrong though, probably am

| i'd actually be HAPPIER if they did a production re run of those limited 22B impreza STi's...
screw the so called new (crappier) designs.
i mean back in the 90's Nissan USA did an in house re runs of datsun 240Z's... using new old stock parts to make quite a few 240Z's and sell them for 20k+ a pop..

The car is you see here is heavily disguised, if not simply slapped together with body work out of the parts bin. I'll guarantee the car will look a lot different once it's officially revealed.
