Wow, we had the FT-86 and the FRS with good tailights, most hated the FT86II. What's so hard to figure out? The tail end on this mule/prototype is ugly.
Again - FT-86 and FRS good, Weird out of place FT-86II bad.
Not hard to figure out Toyota/Subaru.
As far as those saying that we shouldn't expect the car to look like the FRS concept. It won't, but there is no reason why it couldn't. Just like most sports cars in this price range, they could offer the same look in a base and turbo model. The turbo model recouping the loss on the base model. This has been done as long as I can remember. Take for instance the supra, 300z, sky, 91+ MR2, etc. All used the same method to put an exotic-for-the-time car into the hands of those that couldn't have afforded the look otherwise.
