I think its possible that the BRZ will actually be available in SA before Toyota's 86 and I'd also rather deal with Subaru's service department than Toyota's.

so...hurry up TAS

The thing is it is a Boxer engine and no one know Boxer like Subaru so yes the best bet is BRZ over FT-86. Subaru will have 2 pilot units in Feb so hopefully CT will get on to play with early too.

This shouldnt be an issue unless you feel these engines have a tendency to implode on a wim...I dont. Boxer engines are very reliable if not modded to the moon and back. Toyota would never put one in their cars if it were not so. Besides its a new engine co-developed by both manufacturers so I dont think this should be a concern.

The GT-86 pics are out, what do you think, is the BRZ a better choice?
