I love how there's an entire forum already dedicated to a car that doesn't exist yet.

Looks really nice. As others have said, a bit overstyled but most concepts are. The bodywork and mirrors will be toned down for production. The fancy rotors and calipers won't make it either. Still, it has a nice stance and overall proportions. Should be a great little car if they can a) keep weight down and b) give it a bit of power.

It looks nice. The back is a little over the top though. I love the generous use of carbon fiber on the concept though! Definitely not digging the Scion-esque spoiler.

Any of you see the Subaru teaser? That model looks like it's gonna be sick! It doesn't appear over done like the Toyota. One thing is for sure, it will be RWD!!!!!

Body kit rotors, etc... maybe sold as TRD if a Toyota, or as customization options as a Scion. I can see them being offered one way on another, but not on the base car.

I know this is probably a good looking car, but all I can see is the Scion TC greenhouse.

I hope they fixed the hideous interior.

So is the FT-86 II just the current version of the FT-86, is this some additional model variant? I haven't been keeping up with it. Looks pretty good though, and I can definitely see pass the extra tacked on stuff to see what looks like a slick little ride!

I was hugely disappointed by that news- RWD and NA, not really what I think of when I think of Subaru. It might all work, but I think the car is going to need to be one hell of a driver for that to be the case.
