I'd really like to see the scooby version..
I have this feeling the Suby is going to look like vanilla compared to the FR-S concept. It'll probably have more power but when was the last time Subaru came up with a really attractive looking car? Never??

Shouldn't do... The FT won't be coming out as a Scion all over the world, only in America. The Japanese will still get the Toyota version, and that is where the car was born, so I think the name should stay....

Hey no worries. I just thought I would ask if you had a photochop since it would be interesting to see. I agree that Endless look great. I also think Alcon would be great as well. Just not sure I want to spend an extra $4000-5000 to upgrade the brakes.

I like all of them. Still love MKI but I hesitantly voted MKIII. It's like they took the best parts of 1 and 2 and mixed them together.

Yeah, I do agree.. Endless brake are ridiculously expensive. It's just like Volks, it's nice... but they're expensive LOL

Interestingly, it shrunk in height!

I'm sure the extra length is from its huge ass.

Good catch, I'd feel sorry for anyone over 6'2" . This thing is a little too short, but I won't judge until the production version comes out.

Maybe you are supposed to lay down on your belly and drive it like the Batmobile?
