for the plate, the model with body kit has a differente number ... so it don't mean nothing about the brand

The exhaust looks maybe a tad thinner, but that's all I could notice. Was that wha you were getting at?

That model (at Nurburg) was also spotted beforehand without the bodykit and had the same (red) Toyota numberplate as it has now. This one is spotted in the US, and has the Blue Subaru numberplate.

I think these definitely correlate to the brand it's testing under.

As liquidsilver has stated before the testing is for BOTH cars, as they are essentially the exact same car. The data and information is shared and analyzed by both companies.

Sorry flip, I'm not seeing whatever you are seeing.

huh interesting. Few days ago, I got email saying that there's two different test cars have been made for this car. One been at track testing and they said, other one is at other company engineering place testing something else (I thought, this one would be at Japan, but my guess was wrong).

Was this the *big* news that you hinted some days back about checking the Scion's website? or should I be expecting something big?

I don't see a hint of FR-S in this car so some of you guys are imagining things. If I did see the FR-S in this cars shape I would fall in love with it again.
