Hello? are you Subaru version of FT-86?
Quote:
Even though the concept is about green, I think it's possible that this makes Subaru version of FT-86. Edit: For those who live in LA. LAAS is located in LA conventional center from Nov 19 to 28. Take some pics of this concept guys. Last edited by Dark; 11-02-2010 at 02:56 PM. Reason: Add Info. |

As soon as I saw the picture on autoblog I immediately thought hey finally Subaru is rolling out it's concept version of the FT-86 project.
Then I started to read the article and began to get a little ill. There were rumors way back when that the project had been delayed to work on a hybrid option and this could be the result. It's probably the only way the Toyota overlords could justify selling two of the exact same badge clones. I'm holding out hope that maybe it has some type of KERS hybrid system like lotus and porsche that provides a boost of power on demand and is designed soley for performance. |

Either that, either is a new design language that previews the next Subarus(next Impreza?)

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw the post on autoblog today. The rendering looks odd though, like it's too big for a coupe but way too small for a sedan.

I don't think it'll be the FT if it's under a more "green" approach. Anything else it's possible.

The rendering looks more production ready than original FT-86 concept( EU. regulation qualified bonnet). If the headlight and taillight styling are as good as Toyota one, this makes Subaru a clear winner in look. Phew... I think it's time to stop thinking about Scion cr*p when I can get this. |

"green" could just mean a more efficient engine. Take mazda's sky technology for example. |

If someone cares to quickly chop this pic over a side shot of the 86, I'm sure we could tell if it's the same car or not. Just looking at it they loom identical, but I'm on the phone so can't chop
