'09~'10 was called "dark ages" or "FT ages = Forgotten Topic ages". There were over an yr of pure BS article left and right: Turbo'ed, AWD turbo, Subaru vs is only AWD and Toyota will be RWD and list just goes on and on... just like current FT1, it's pure speculation & BS articles

Now, we get more info (both true and false). Usually true info are giving out A LOT faster. I, myself knew bout 10series near 10 months before they announced it and RS since early last yr. Others get few insider info and spread these kind of info out quickly, so by the time so called "hot off the presses" it's usually old news with very few new infos.

But thanks for the info. At least we got released date

Yup, pretty much all BS rumors. Literally only solid info were found in this forum by our admin w photos & vids of FT86 Concepts testing at Nur. It's kinda funny that a lot of BS article came from us "speculating" &/or "wishing" on production ver. We figured that auto blogs are not reading detail and read whatever sounds good and just BS'ing through making the article, so we made the BS thread about Subaru announced AWD turbo ver and several dozens of auto blogs wrote that "Subaru Announced AWD turbo ver" or something along the line and newbies come here posting here about it. We (old school members) were laughing our ass off!!!!!
