Looks like some type of new car. We'll see... in a week or so.

Has to be the 86 or maybe the 86 version of the BRZ Super GT Race Car.

You are right. The Toyota panel gap is a little larger.

They might match if they're viewed from the same angle......

angle aside look at the spacing between the botton of the Subaru badge and grille.

If we look at the patent images from above/side it does show a curve on the top of the bumper, but I'm not seeing that line under the Toyota badge as shown on the red teaser. Either way we'll know for sure in 11 days.

Interesting because it had seemed like Japan wouldn’t be getting the 2nd gen vehicles. But I guess maybe I was leaning too much toward the unsubstantiated rumor mills for that.

I think the big picture being missed is that this is primarily a Subaru announcement shared by TGR. It won't be the 86 if the normal flow of social media announcements + who shares it is followed.

I was thinking more in terms of if Subaru were still intent on releasing the 2nd gen BRZ there, even if Toyota wasn't intent on releasing its 2nd gen 86 in JP.

Wasn't there a rumor about a toyota-subaru hot hatch? could be that.

DarkPira7e · 03-25-2021, 05:23 PM

"ever better" makes me think it's an eV announcement

With their green cars the Toyota logo is usually blue. The teaser looks like a normal badge.
