@Hachi - Just clear things up. Subie do use Japanese driver for concept cars. BUT when production ver come out, make Subaru UK rally/race driver to handle the Nur.

Example, last STI hatch was co-test drove by Japanese driver & European driver.

Great. We have a circular link with www.tf1.fr referencing this site for information and then www.tf1.fr being quoted on here.

Sure the pics were taken from here but I wouldn't say it is all circular. A few things that were new to me:

- Subaru to be called 2000RS (not sure if this is true but they state it, not saying this is 100% true)
- To be revealed Nov 30th, 2011 (we all knew @ Tokyo but I hadn't heard a confirmed date, not saying this is 100% either)

Things we already new:
- the usual stuff (Scion/Toyota/Subaru, engine, price...etc.)

So what info did they write that you take offense to?

Subaru 2000RS & http://www.ipo.gov.uk/t-find-number?...emark=E9226101

For Nov 30th, it's pretty much given. If they didn't, Toyota & Subaru would of been screwed.

No offence here, just found it funny it was referencing this site and not adding anything new, and then that site was then picked up by this site.

Ok just ignore my post then. I just knew the press day was Nov 30 and Dec 1. Didn't realize the 30th has been picked already. Good to know.

Oh no offence taken. I just wasn't sure what you meant but I got you now.

I hope they remove the front fog lights and turn indicators from the front bumper and integrate them in to the headlights when it moves to production. I think it looks a bit cheap if they are planning for it to look like the test mule.

I know its only the test mule, but seems strange to go through the effort to put something there which isnt in the plans for production.

I am still on the fence about fog lights on this car. I would be happy either way I think but probably prefer not having them if given a choice.

I completely agree about the turn indicators. Seems like there should be some regulation regarding the height and location of them. Are there any recent production cars that have the turn indicators that low? Just not a big fan of that location for aesthetics and functional reasons.

ichitaka05 · 05-18-2011, 11:53 AM

That kinda reminds me. When's last time Toyota made turn indicators in front bumper?

For subaru was GC series (first gen) iirc & Toyota might be Supra MkIV wasn't it?

ft86cbx · 05-18-2011, 11:54 AM

Not sure of regs etc. but most cars of late usually integrate them in to the wing mirrors. A bit more aesthetically pleasing compared to these chunky things.
