people talking about 6 litre v8 american crap

and people saying it is bland

most of it is covered up - i dont see how people can be so opinionated when they cant see how the sun is hitting the sheet metal

anyway, this might just be a mix of the 3 concept's junk parts dropped onto the ft86 chassis to test how wind/aero affects it in a general manner

who knows for sure

If this is the production version, it will still look good. But nothing near the awesomeness and eye catching ability of the FR-S. It'll just be another coupe.

What? You do realize that the FR-S Concept, which practically everyone sings praises about, was designed by 5Axis, don't you? Unless you are in the very minority that dislike the FR-S Concept.

This. They always seem to come out of the wood work after an unveiling or new info is released.

Did you really expect much more than that from a mid $20k priced car?

Not true. the Original Audi TT concept, along with the Porsche Carrera GT, and the Audi R8 and many other cars were in concept form, then when made into production form, 90-98% of the concept's design were well interpreted/the same.

I see one Porsche is like I can see them all, from SUV to Sedan to coupe, they are alike. same can be said about Audi.

You don't dislike FR-S, do you? You just like the mark 2 more, right?

Ok maybe I was a little over board with "all" concepts and should have used the word many instead.

Regarding the above; I remember seeing concepts of the original TT that didn't look very close to the production version, they actually looked more inline with what the current R8 looks like. Sorry never saw a concept of the Carrera GT and same thing with the R8. I don't really follow European cars that closely.

^Maybe he should of used Subie. Most of time Subie concepts follow really close to the production ver.

Next Impreza begs to differ.

I expect much more than another coupe. the TC is another coupe, the cobolt is another coupe, the forte is another coupe.

Hopefully this thing will be able to separate itself from other cars, the miata has done it in the $20K range, so i dont see why toyota(scion)/subaru can't

For me it goes...

Mk II > G-Sport > FR-S > Mk I

There are a lot of parts I dislike about the G-Sport, FR-S, and the Mk I. But the Mk II was the one I had the least complaints about. In contrast, there are parts I like about the FR-S, etc

2012 Subaru Impreza

#1 thing that upsets me on 2012 Impreza is Subie have separate Impreza & WRX/STI
