I somehow think we may have to wait until Season 19 of the show (which usually air's around July) to see the 86 on Top Gear. Not even a teaser of the 86 in the preview :(

I have never expected it to be faster than low 6sec since it runs on Prius tires.

I dunno...they normally drive cars before they come out, by July this car will already be out. If Subaru and Toyota have half a brain, they'll want them to do a review of the car before it comes out. Even if that means shipping a JDM car to the Top Gear Test Track.

And Croatian is now one of my favorite languages! lol

I know I'm more interested in driving the brand that is so well known for WRC compared to the brand that is known for eco-bland. The rumors that the Subaru will have just a slightly tighter suspension doesn't hurt either but I wouldn't expect that to matter much.
Other than badge....how about exterior, interior, aftermarket options when the cars come out? There are more than just a badge to choose from.


Side note:
So, I take it, this is a follow up to the not so glamours article they did on the GT86?

If you order you will get your car the same time as that person on the east or west coast. You can also order from a dealer on the west coast and have your car shipped to a dealer near you.

This car is the best car since slice bread. You will want one, just like everybody else once they realize how awesome it handles.

The bit I like most about this review is the out of twenty score. I haven't seen another car get 19/20. The closest car to that was the Nissan GTR and the Italia 458, both on 18. So really this is the best car they have reviewed. That makes me happy.

^I saw the 19/20 but where did you see it was the highest?

Edit: I see Italia 458 got 20: http://www.topgear.com/uk/ferrari/458

Ah well there you go. I was going off of the Magazine. In fact on the website the GTR only has 17, so forget my previous post. But either way you look at it, 19 is still a very very good score.
