Thanks... but those news are old news. I'm frequent Subaru site view and heard that news since the spy vid and FT-86 was shown in TAS.
But again, not sure what's true and rumor. I'll just wait til Subaru actually show it in the next Auto Show |

The thing I don't get is u can get an awd wrx for around 25 but we keep seeing it isn't gonna happen with this car because of cost. Is there that much money going into other parts of the car that it would make it that much more for awd? I know it would increase weight and I like the idea of rwd And I know that's what this car is all about I just don't see how an awd would be that much more in cost especially since they are going off of parts from existing awd subies. Just a thought....

It either will not have 250hp or it's going to cost more than 25K. This would mean that it has 50 more hp than the Toyota but cost only 2k more?

the badly photoshopped scoop doesnt sit right.. thats just a FT86 with chopped wheels, bumper and scoop.. frankly some of the chops done by members of this forum look way better and more realistic than those pics.. just more hype building news
and the base model subaru will be same as the base model toyota. both will have turbocharged versions on a higher spec.. both will cost the same (roughly)

I cant wait to see the actual concept vehicle to compare to the toyota. I'd be supprised if it even looks anything like those renderings at all but who knows. I like the white one the best
