would be pretty hot if Toyota dropped their own.. turbo version! yay toyrota!

From the few artist depictions of the proposed Subaru model, I can say I am leaning more towards the Toyota/Scion version. But I'm hopeful the final roll out model will look better. And if there would be a turbo'd one, I'd want it to be the Subie. Toyota hasn't messed with Turbo's since the Supra... They're a little out of the game with all the hybrid faggotry. :shakes head:

Seeing that youtube vid posted earlier and the camo'd pics, I really can't see this car being any lighter than 2900lbs and more than likely 3000 to 3100 and if it's only packing 200hp, it's just not going to be that rewarding/fast to drive. If I want a slow but fun car, I'd get a miata.

good call, that'd be alot cheaper than one of these things new.

^^ To each his own, but I'm looking for a 4 seater for a DD not another 2 seater. If they can keep it below 3k @ ~200HP, it'll work fine for my purposes.

Isamu 05-23-2011 11:57 PM
I would love to see this not fall away to the over 3k pounds crowd...

Think 2005 - 2010 mustang v6. Heavy and underpowered

And I thought there are only going to be 2 versions of the FT, a Scion and a Subaru. It will not be badged as a Toyota.
In the US, there will only be the Scion and the Subaru. However, in Europe and Japan (at least), the Scion will be badged as a Toyota. No one knows if Subie will officially go international with their FT-86 (or 2000 RS), but if should at least come to the states shortly after the Scion version.

Just hoping the Subi eventually gets turbo's. No way 2.0 L is gonna get enough power to separate it from the competition w/o them.

I still wonder if this will really becoma a Subaru. They've made so much hype about all their cars being AWD, that this would kinda ruin it for them.

It would be as ridiculous as Porsche coming out with an SUV or an ugly family sedan :stirthepot:

After the huge PR hit they've taken the last couple of years, they'd better do something amazing, and fast. I don't think there is a more boring line of cars out there than the stuff Toyota puts out.
