A large car company such as Toyota might even reach out to a completely unrelated car company to design and build an entirely new platform just to create a halo car. Which is why the FT-1 will have a BMW engine and why the BMW Z5 will be built on an FT-1 chassis.
Impossible! Besides Mr. Gfarce has already clearly stated that the Toyota guys screwed up the suspension and it was the saving grace of the BRZ design team that has brought it back to reality. How dare you insinuate that the car was anything but a modified Impreza.
