Funny bit about Toyota wheel-caps - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum

TuxedoCartman · 06-11-2012, 03:33 PM

So I got my JDM Toyota wheel-caps in the mail today (thanks CarsonToyota!)

Nice! But I was too amused by the other side...

It was kinda funny to see the Subaru logo all over the mechanical bits of this car, but to see it on the actual Toyota logo itself? Priceless!

phillip · 06-11-2012, 03:40 PM

Thanks for the chuckle

chulooz · 06-11-2012, 03:42 PM

Hah, thats a pretty good one. Goes to show that the badges you apply cant hide the car you drive.

NYNOMAD · 06-11-2012, 03:42 PM

That is funny!

That's funny. It seems that subaru is so keen to mark the car as their baby. If you pop the hood, every bits says SUBARU. I wonder if there actually a TOYOTA badged part, bar the emblems.

Well considering it's made in a Subaru plant and line, what would you expect? Ever look under the hood of a VW Routan? It's all Chrysler since it's just a re-badged Town & Country made at their Windsor plant. At least the FT86 was a joint development between both, plus Toyota owns a (17% I believe) stake in Subaru so it's really a wash as far as I'm concerned.

agreed. It just looks humorous. As for the Routan, hope VW can bring their Sharan

Hahahaha, that's going in my Photobucket under:

I wonder what the weight-savings will be if this car ever manages to shed its emotional baggage from its passive-aggressive parents.

Bristecom · 06-11-2012, 07:07 PM

Does that mean the wheels are Subaru sourced I wonder?

good question.

i think car makers usually source their wheels from other wheel companies such as ray's. can someone confirm this?

Yeah, they usually do. A lot of Japanese car manufacturers use Enkei or Ray's but I can't say for sure what Subaru or Toyota would use in this case. If someone took the wheel off and looked on the inside, they might see a branding somewhere.

Any chance you have a part number?

BANGER · 06-12-2012, 01:07 AM

Subaru getting in on everything as best they can

Scooby · 06-12-2012, 01:37 AM

I'm sure Toyota will release a sticker to fit over that Subaru logo as well

motofan · 06-12-2012, 03:35 AM

subaru should hold a challenge and the guy find the most of their logos can win a free FR-S, oh, BRZ i mean.

Infernal · 06-12-2012, 07:08 AM

I lol'd... I'm meant to be doing work here and you're giving it away that im slacking off!

Gaiakai · 06-12-2012, 07:18 AM

Trying to find all the Subaru logos in the car is going to be a fun Easter Egg hunt, like looking for all the ///M badges/logos on the E46 M3
