That thinks all over the net at the moment. Rumoured to have a 2L 148bhp Subaru engine in it :( That's not much more than the original 4AGE made & it's also rumoured to weigh about as much as an Altezza (@1345kg) although other sites are saying it will be light weight. How long til someone drops an STi engine in one?
The one question this car raises is do you put a TRD or STi badge on it??

Interesting dash setup, leather buttons and zips?!
Looks a bit too "spacey" for me, hope they change it for the production model:
Love these though:
2 piece slotted rotors with 4 pot calipers:
Bum shot with the diffuser styled rear bumper:

Subaru engine? :wacko: :blink:
The dash is crazy! Seats would have to go, put some proper race seats in there instead, and I think you'd have a winner.
Body looks OK, the bonnet looks like it could do with a vent or something to change the profile. Wheels and breaks look nice.
Wonder how long someone takes to put a 2J in it :P

Remembering team that this is only the concept model...and that the actual production car will look quite different, much like the early Hyundai Genesis concept and the actual car.
I think it has the potential to be pretty good, depending on how it finally turns out and how different the Subaru verison is to it( can anyone say STI and 4wd Turbo?)

Well, I reckon selling the same car with a Subaru badge on it will kill it stone dead for Toyota fans...
"I bought an AE86 even tho' the Subaru Justy was the identical car..."
Yeah riiiight... :rolleyes:

Yeah I have to agree...... if the Subaru model comes out with better performance and parts on it, then I doubt many will bother buying the Toyota version at all.
