PRIZEFIGHT: Toyota or Subaru? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I know we can only speculate for now but, which variant do you think will be the better car?

My guess would be a sti version by subaru.

If it's a Scion then everyone loses!

I say Subaru since they kept their ish real and didn't branch off into mulitiple subdivisions.

well this car has yet to be even suggested to have an awd counterpart...however I do believe the Subaru version will be better...mainly because they are the designers of the chassis and engine(minus the heads of course). and the likelihood of Subaru having a rwd turbo sti version is greater than toyota having a turbo version.

Right. I totally agree. I have to see what they can do first.

Yeah wayyyy to early to have a prizefight lol...im just getting impatient again but, i am starting to set my sights on the subaru version now

Franisco · 10-20-2010, 10:40 PM

The way things are sounding we better hope the suby version is good, or this thing may flop..

Matador · 10-21-2010, 08:01 AM

Looks? They way things have been lately, Toyota believe it or not. Otherwise? What makes you think they are going to be any different?

Franisco · 10-22-2010, 12:51 AM

I'd say if it comes out as a Scion it has a good chance of never getting FI..but thats just me.

Don't know how ou can say that since they released and option of a supercharger for the last gen tc.... So they could do the same

Since everything is just speculation and based off previous experience with the brands, id go with this based on feeling.

Toyota FR-S GRsports Edition > Subaru FR-S STI > Toyota FR-S > Scion FR-S TRD FI Edition / Subaru FR-S Turbo > Scion FR-S

I meant tc, but you got me there. Something is better than nothing I guess

Well ill go against the grain and say the Toyota will be the better of the 2 which i base on 2 things.. The toyota badged concepts are F#*kn sick and Mr Toyoda loves the car and is working very closely with the engineering crew making it all happen.....
Still silly and way to early to build a solid argument though.........

Xrs-FT86 · 10-25-2010, 12:14 AM

haha I definitely agree with your hierarchy you've got built here!
