I don't really have preference over the exterior. I think the FRS has a simpler look and BRZ jumped into the bandwagon of black plastic noses. Although, I think they did do a pretty good job with the design. I really like the material for the FRS interior and the color scheme. The BRZ interior is kinda lameduck IMHO. However, the FT86 is really a Subaru creation from the tires up. I think Subaru pretty much designed 90% of the car and then gave all the CAD drawings to Toyota to manufacture theirs
I kinda want to get a BRZ just out of respect for Subaru's work since Toyota seems to be pretty much getting a free ride... literally...
Toyota: I want to relive the AE86 dream and rekindle my inner ricer!
Subaru: Uhh... What?
Toyota: Let's team up and make a light weight sporty RWD coupe and call it the AE86 Version 2.0!
Subaru: Uh No thanks
Toyota: We own 17% of the company! You better do it!
Subaru: Fine..
Toyota:
Subaru: We should make it AWD.. it's all about traction and gripping the road to achieve the most optimum performance
Toyota:
Subaru: We should turbo charge or super charge it
Toyota:
Subaru: Alright we think we have the engine down...well you better contribute something Toyota
Toyota: Here let's use this fuel injection system
Subaru: that's all you got?
Toyota: I have these cool napkin sketches of what we want the car to look like!
Subaru: Uhh.. but what suspension and the gear box?
Toyota: Don't worry about it!
Subaru:
Toyota: It's all good
Subaru: Let's do this for the drive train
Toyota: I was thinkin we should do a dual exhaust because people will love that!
Subaru: I thought you wanted to keep this low cost?
Toyota: Don't worry about it!
Subaru:
Toyota: We should put some back seats in because people need to carry golf clubs
Subaru:
I thought u wanted a true RWD sports car?!
Toyota: It'll be fine! The AE86 had back seats.
Subaru: Fine'll we'll give you ur back seats
Toyota:
Subaru: Well since you want to do LSD, fuel injection and all these expensive crap.. we came up with this idea to reuse some WRX STi parts like brakes, rotors, tires, etc to reduce cost
Toyota: That is an awesome idea! We should do something similar for our version... hmmm We'll put Prius tires on it!!
Subaru: Uh.. what?
Toyota: Don't worry we got the vision down!
Subaru: We pretty much built the car ourselves.
Toyota:
When can we start selling it!?
Subaru: Go ahead.. here are the design and specifications..but we'll just make our own
Toyota: WHAT?
Subaru: Yea we pretty much built your "AE86"
Toyota: but but...but.. it was our idea!
Subaru:
Toyota: fine we'll release the concept first!
Subaru: That's it?
Toyota: It's awesome!
Subaru: Oh here is our STi and GT300 versions that we threw together last night
Toyota: Wow.....
