Interesting, I'm glad the thing is made well but I expected that from Subaru. Glad to see they were holding well in the rain and the pick up either one seemed responsible.

Yes! Soon there will be a classified section full of people parting out their FRSs and BRZs. The rest of us will benefit from their lack of skill :)

Anyway, just notice that this drive is actually free of charge. I wonder if the driver needs to pay for the damage.


Uncontrollable acceleration? It is a toyota! :lol:

its for my marketing class. i have to do a persentation on something so i am doing it on the gt-86. When you see what toyota has been doing with the car its easy to do this. Teasing of the car from the ft-86, putting it in gt5, giving test drives to major auto mags, letting major tuning company's do r&d on the car so there is major after-market support for the car, all that stuff done before the car is even out to the public is huge, and also the Area 86 program in japan for after the car is bought.

I am just trying to find out where this test driving is being done in the video clip and check out more about it, because if they are letting people get behind the wheel early thats a huge marketing topic i could present on.

Lazy lazy... I'm not liking your chances for a good grade in your marketing class if you cannot copy/paste the text into Google translate ;-)

It took place here: http://www.megaweb.gr.jp/About/en.html
Toyota's 'Theme Park'
And it must have been this event: http://www.megaweb.gr.jp/Event/Night_day/
