Subaru/Toyota Coupe spotted in Socal with Subaru Plates - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

My coworker's friend spotted this on a socal freeway. It's the Subaru/Toyota coupe for sure. What's interesting is that it wears the same plate as the subaru mule spotted in socal a while back.

Looks like we saw on the nur ring any more maybe the front

If I saw that in my area, I would not stop following that car.

Dead serious. I'd probably get in trouble too, but I don't care lol

Now, was that TRDLiquidSilver at the helm of that tester? It seems that Toyota/Subaru are testing two cars in both the ring and SoCal.....

Edit: and just notice this now, is that a white Caymen just in front of that Ford pickup truck? A highway performance comparison between Caymen and FT-86????

If so that sucks cause not only did the Caymen kick our butt but also the F150. Oh well.

It depends on what they are testing. I would think they are torture testing it to see if it can survive So Cal traffic

. In that case it is winning

IMHO!

Call the So Cal auto spy photo anonymous organization! There has to be more where this came from!

Interesting indeed...

Can someone confirm this isn't bogus? I'm being skeptical....its what I do sometimes.

If it is true, this car is super close to production ready. Liquidsilver wasn't kidding.

I still think it has the same rear fender curves as the FR-S. You can kind of see it.

iff2mastamatt · 05-19-2011, 12:11 AM

THEY'RE COMING. FR-S' are popping up everywhere, this is insane!

Giccin · 05-19-2011, 12:18 AM

Looks like the 405. O_O

iff2mastamatt · 05-19-2011, 12:24 AM

Other than a funky sat nav, no spoiler, and no fog light (where the "diffuser" is) can any one else spot any differences than the other prototypes?
