This is looking more Scion...

Agreed. I never realized how much hood lines affect

Here is what the FT86 production mule looks like for the global market.

Ill come up with the rear view later today.

WOW! And its just a mule w/o finalized sheetmetal!

Now onto the important stuff...mainly weight....actually, just weight.

If weight is within reason (AT MOST 2750), its sold in my book.

Just for the record, it's now a prototype, no longer a mule.

I like what they're trying to do but I can't get over the fact that this "Prototype" resembles the Tc. I was hoping for more the of sleek look of the FRS. We will see in due time.

I don't think anyone knows for sure. But the speculation is based off the license plate and styling cues not really being Subaru inspired and feel more Toyota inspired.

If Toyota would clean up the back it wouldn't look too bad. Get rid of spoiler (something more simple would be ok), change rear taillights (looks too unfinished and I don't like the round part), get rid of that 3rd brake light thingy I think it could look pretty good. I like the round exhaust and the minimal diffuser kit.

And I thought the FR-S rear was bad LOL!

I don't understand. That is an extremely simple basic spoiler. It's hardly even a spoiler. Do you have an example of anything more simple?

Something more like this maybe?

Kage · 05-16-2011, 08:12 PM

hey can someone do a chop without the spoiler? Not a new spoiler just a delete from that pic.

Hmm I'd consider that more of a lip/duck tail/etc anything but a spoiler, unless my definition is off.

I've always heard them called ducktail spoilers

Makes sense. I just consider anything that isn't a whale tail, nor a raised spoiler, to be simple.

The prototype above, while not a duck tail spoiler, is not raised either.

With the camo off, it doesn't look to bad. Still doesn't sell it for me. :sad:
Maybe the specs will.
