that's a pretty good spy shots because we didn't spot them but we did see a few phones snapping away.

regarding the steering wheel that's not finalized but you will see a lot of sharing of parts that's available currently to keep production costs low.

the sti people were visiting and that is not a turbo FT/FR that's following it.

Subaru:
chassis
suspension
engine
production assembly

Toyota
D4-S
Marketing/Advertising

Both Makers:
Exterior Styling
Testing, Data and Tuning

3rd party
Yamaha
Aisin

Again, why you keep discrediting Toyota for their part in RWD chassis design and RWD performance tuning when Subaru has none of that experience is beyond me.

I'm sorry but so much of what you post is ridiculous. Toyota handling Subaru's marketing/advertising? That's hilarious. Subaru's FR-S would need branding/messaging that ties in with the rest of the product lineup, FHI would not rely on Toyota for that. On top of that, advertising is in most cases outsourced to ad agencies. As is a lot of marketing collateral. Sounds like you're pulling things out of thin air.

It's a joint project, a lot of responsibilities will overlap between the two companies.

Ah ha, another tactic to fool the viewer!

Do they plan to use any interior ideas of the MKI in the FR?

How did you know what shirt I was wearing?!?!!?




I jest I jest!

Ontopic: The STi guys were visiting? I guess that's why the tennis ball was on the current prototype? Again, I'm sure the center of the steering wheel was covered because good LORD if you guys didn't cover that STi part on it this thread would be freekin' goin' insane with Scoobie fanatics. Imagine a group of seagulls, all squawking "turbo?" "turbo?" "turbo?"

I couldn't help but to laugh out loud hearing this. LOLWTFBBQROFL
Now my common sense kicks in, Why would Toyota have to cover the front bumper when we already see what it looked like(under camo)? Are they trying to make a "high performance" version of the car? Wait wait... Scion sell only one trim. Scion is going to differentiate this car from the rest of the line up by selling many trim?

Ah ah don't speak too soon. That interior shot shouldn't have been taken, I'll double check but why would I say 3 days ago this was Subaru even with Toyota plates with no proof and then this come to light now, common sense would say Scion because of being in CA right? It's because I was told knowing I would throw in the face and TRD would sweep them causing more confusion? If TRD is telling the truth then my guy is using my big mouth to good use. Lol

1 thing I've made up is the fb25 in the n/a vs turbo thread, saying thats Subarus base motor that was a joke since some people were being stupid. Anyways if SOA does not release the same time as Scion early Q2 2012' then my assumption will be correct which I won't say what, because it would not be a fact and to not start another war.

At this point I'm assuming TRDLiquidSilver actually got a look at the car on Friday last week. Can you confirm?

I kinda want one of those Scoobaru balls to put on the s2000 antenna on my Celica. Ya kno, make people think my car's a sti type r or whatnot.

In all seriousness though, I wouldn't be surprised if this is an ft-86/fr-s in the hands of Subaru testers.

You go advertising the hotness of camo and you'll get some redneck jokes thrown around again .

I wonder Hachi notice that he posted on wrong thread area (if he go by the title). Subaru Coupe (version of FR-S/FT-86) Spotted Inside and Out! should be in Subaru Boxer Sports Car Architecture Discussions instead?

Sorry, I was just trollin' Hachi, don't ban me

THANK YOU!!!

You have confirmed what I was saying all along about Subaru's design.

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)
