The cars are virtually identical, paint comes from the same place, built and painted by the same robots. The only thing that separates the cars are the minor differences (Subaru doesn't use Toyota's red/black seat covers, the logos & badges, Subaru cars have a different front bumper skin and head/fog lights, the suspension is the same now I think). You'll also never see a WRB Toyota/Scion just like you'll never see a Yuzu, Silver Ignition, or Hot Lava BRZ.

Oh, right I know the differences overall but it seemed like how you said it, that JUST the lava colored ones and the world rally blue ones had some seat/headlight differences.

Could be BRZ, FRS, GT86, GT86, FRS, FT86, BRZ, BRZ, BRZ, GT86 and so on going down the line all at the same time.

The 86 is a series of sports cars jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru.

As for the Subaru owners please it's a Toyota design get off your high horse thinking you have the better car of the two.

Same car yes and no.


All of the 86 cars have different parts/ trim levels.


Toyota design the car long before Subaru became a partner with the FT86 project. Subaru makes the car and with that said Toyota owns part of Fuji Heavy Industries.

Toyota on one side and Subaru on the other side at the manufacturing line.

Least it's not a FIAT, eh?





(in reality least its not a Ford IMO)

Toyota Motor toy will pay $311 million to raise its stake in Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries to 16.5%, and the two companies said Thursday that they will develop cars together.

Fuji and Toyota will develop a compact, rear-wheel drive sports car, to go on sale by the end of 2011.

From here

At that moment in time. They could just as easily have had Subaru's on both or any other mix. I have never been there though so I could be wrong since I am basing my statements on the dozen or so other plants I have been in. They could have a dedicated Subaru line but I doubt it though due to the lower numbers of them made.
