Subaru Coupe (version of FR-S/FT-86) Spotted Inside and Out! + New Interior Pic

[PAImportTuner]

Hachi got the pics and he was probably told that's what it is. I was told that this thing was in CA too, so that makes 2 of us. Then you have TRDLiquid to say the exact opposite to cover it up or is misinformed.

If this was the Toyota/Scion variant there would be no need to hide the grill somewhat along with fascia, also look at that big rectangle impression, even the grill is taller. For what would you need that for?

Oh and that STi has a special plate and wasn't some random

Subaru:
Sti roof antennae
Taillights to look more rounded like the 2012 Impreza
No boxer 86 logo
Hello.. G ball
Steering wheel although that could be in the FR-S as well HIGHLY doubt.
Wheels screams ugly production Subaru.
I know those vents with the chrome tips every 2011-2012 Subaru has them, look up Scions and Toyota vents not their style.
AND
who can forget the horrendous chrome trim piece above the plate Subaru has unleashed.

Honestly I stopped coming to this website because I got tired of all the OMG IT'S A SUBBIE. OMG IT'S A TOYOTA. OMG LET'S WASTE TIME GUESSING. OMG TURBO. and the "my subbie e-peen is bigger than your toyota e-peen" talk (I'm looking at you, PAImportTuner)

I only meant for the last part to be negative.

I really was grateful for TRDLiquidSilver confirming what I was saying.

At this point I think some people are saying whatever comes to mind with the hopes that someone "in the know" will step up and correct them... and even that isn't working now.

You're really talking yourself into this. The different tape jobs are likely because people in different countries did the tape jobs, not because the sheetmetal or lights are any different.

Work your imagination and strip away the camo and you'll see the sheetmetal and lights are all the same as the other testers/pre-production cars out there. This isn't rocket science, you just have to pay attention a tiny bit....and most importantly, get your preconceived notions out of your head.

The only actual difference that can be spotted here are the wheels. The antenna or the ball that's stuck on it seriously don't count.

None. Unless it comes from Toyota or Subaru it's all just speculation but it can be fun to speculate. Think of it as wishing out loud!

I'm kind of excited for this hamster edition. Might not work well with a turbo though. The poor little guys will get sucked into it and make ground hamster meat

[Ryephile]

^^hence why there's no turbo version.

yeah! Sketchy sources are awesome!

[chulooz]

wow, Im kind of surprised TDRsilver claims that not to be a subie... I thought the steering wheel and G ball were quite suggestive. But, its all good, any news at this point is good news.

Boy, everyone around here still gets real cranky about turbo talk... I guess thats what you get from these US Toyota guys who havent seen one since when like 98? hahaha. Looks like we might not be seeing one stock on these for a while too though.

You've got to be kidding me. Look at my post, I knew already this Subaru was in CA already before the pics were taken. Hachi named it Subaru coupe for a good reason probably because one of the worlds best damn Spy photographers Brenda Priddy took the pics and she is always on the money, you can't escape her shots and the info she finds out, she probably has more pics that show more and going to sell to the highest bidder. She's like the Wikileaks of the autoworld. Even if Hachi changed the title I will still say Subaru, as my source told me this info way before hand so you guys keep plugging away.

1. This car is made by both companies.
2. Both companies are testing this car.
3. There are multiple cars.
4. It's likely that parts from either manufacturer will be on any test car that is seen anywhere.
5. Nothing is official. While it's possible elements from these tests cars will go to production, the fact is Toyota and Subaru don't even have a complete design yet until their testing is finished.

What does this mean? It means that parts from both manufacturers will be seen on many test cars in the future and that nothing is decisive.

Yes, you may see a shot of Toyota testing their car.
Yes, you may see a shot of Subaru testing their car.

Because currently BOTH cars are the SAME car until all testing is conclusive and both manufacturers make their decisions.

Why is this so hard for everyone to understand?

I swear this will be the last time I follow a forum on a car that is being jointly developed because people don't understand the concept.

It's not like Toyota met with Subaru, asked them for an engine and then left while they both went off to do their own thing. If that were the case then yes, their own testing would be private to each company.
