Told you guys 3 days ago about this car.

Fact is the car is like 80% Subie if not more.

However as it stands now, it would be silly for Subaru to make a design and then Toyota make one and stick with it while the car is still being developed.

I think so too, but isn't it too low?

True, I always liked all the lights to be inside instead of everywhere on the bumper.

It looks like there are already some clear lights in the regular assembly.

Subaru isnt as big as Toyota.

Subaru also just worked on the next generation Impreza, Liberty/Legacy and the next Tribeca....

If anything this is 50/50.... but thats just thinking based on size of the companies and resources.

And the lead engineer on this project is from Toyota.

Hrrmmmmm....

Also consider Toyota owns a majority stake in Subaru's parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries.

Hrrrmmmmmmmm.....

Let's not nut swing Toyota, we all know everyone is little hurt about it being a joint venture and SOABlog somewhat discrediting Toyota.

Subaru:
chassis
suspension
engine
production assembly

Toyota
D4-S
Marketing/Advertising

Both Makers:
Exterior Styling
Testing, Data and Tuning

3rd party
Yamaha
Aisin

That's fine, that means everyone still gets paid regardless. Doesn't change what I said, details will come out soon enough.

i think i want both now

bofa · 05-26-2011, 08:13 PM

Sorry, I'm just not seeing that this car is any different. Granted the steering wheel stitching is interesting, but Subie isn't the only manufacturer to ever do that. The tennis ball is neat, but they could just be f-in with us because, hey I bet they have the interwebz too. If it is a different car, these things are gonna look very much alike in the end.

r4m3n · 05-26-2011, 08:15 PM

How do we know that the cars shown in Nurburgring are indeed the Toyota version? We could all have been looking at the Subie version all along, in different places around the world

I'm trying to compare the two cars here and I can't tell the differences apart (spoiler and lower rockers aside)... all the concept versions we've seen of the Toyota FT have had edgier, triangular-shaped headlights. These recent shots all show a rounder, softer headlight casing which could be the Subaru variant?

TRDLiquidSilver · 05-26-2011, 08:27 PM

nope that is not the subaru version but still the toyota. i guess this isn't really confindential. subaru is still working on their design and has taken all the aero data from toyota to finalize their design. that's why you've seen two design concepts of the FT and none from subaru.

that's a pretty good spy shots because we didn't spot them but we did see a few phones snapping away.

regarding the steering wheel that's not finalized but you will see a lot of sharing of parts that's available currently to keep production costs low.

the sti people were visiting and that is not a turbo FT/FR that's following it.
