coming from an audi driver thats weird?

Want to try something different. Besides I'll still keep the audi :)

nice!! So is it true the subbie version is looking at 30K? while the toyota version low to mid 20's?

Not sure about the Subura but the FT should be around 20000.

Think I'm gonna have to got FT then.

A boosted 86 is what I want, no, demand!


To hell with a $30,000 (or more :eyebulge:) WRX coupe. I like Subaru, a lot and I really appreciate what they've done for rallying in the states. Hell, I rallyX and plan on buying a old legacy turbo or RX for a stage rally car, (if I can find one) but, i'm not really interested in a more expensive AWD car that is just going to see DD duties. However, I can understand why it's being produced and I hate to admit but I like the look of the Subie (magazine scan) version more. :brokenheart:

Also, the 0216a is debuting at least a year after the toyota model and I want this car yesterday!

I'm from Japan.
This magazine is very very famous for fabricated article in japan.
I don't believe that is really reliable.

Mr. Tada, Chief engineer of FT-86, Toyota said the team is trying to set its engine and transmission lower and much more close to the center of the car.
If Subaru is considering make an AWD turbo coupe as a brother car, it will be very difficult because there are not enough space there for the turbo engine and AWD transmission.

Proof?

It's nothing official but I have seen it on other websites as welland it is in reference to the STi version. but from 7tune:

"Although it’s not confirmed yet, there’s a strong possibility the Subaru 086A STi Version will be shown at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show or not long after at the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon and will hit showrooms shortly thereafter."

Following the comments by Subaru Australia it sounds like Fuji has been at lease somewhat skeptical, or adding AWD has been a challenge so, the betting man says the Subaru version will follow the Toyota.

I would have to agree and with the AWD problems and the weight gain the subaru is looking less promising to these eyes

Not to mention the higher price tag.

I am still having trouble with the two years away window... That is just too far away and almost too late re-enter the game. I can't imagine what the Infinity/Nissan/Hyundai autos are going to have available in two years..even Maserati is talking about an entry level coupe.

:laughabove::laughabove::laughabove:

Great joke! Can't believe you didn't crack up typing it.

No, really.

lol. I am curious to see how much the subie will cost.
