I'm on a waiting list with Toyota and Subaru.

both Pearl White MT, I will take which ever arrives first - or so I thought.

Toyota has the price listed on their website 1,565,000 peso ~ $38,000

Subaru just gave me an estimated price of 1,928,000 peso ~ $47,000

Of course, I asked why the big difference in price.

Yesterday the guy in the showroom said the BRZ has a bigger engine that produces 200hp and the GT86 only 150hp ?!?!?!

Then today thru SMS my sales lady said the BRZ was 100% "made in Japan" and the GT86 will be made in Thailand ?!?!?!

I know that Toyota has a huge factory in Thailand making the Innova, Fortuner, etc but I understood the FR-S, GT86 and BRZ all came off the same production line at Subaru, Japan.

Anyone else have any news on this?
