6G Celicas Forums

i'm guessing the subaru is better on the dirt because of its kick ass symmetricalbuttcrackdrive and as to lower center of gravity the engine might sit lower but it is physically huge

That's not huge. Cut your motor in between cylinders 2 and 3 and stick the oil pan portions together. That's going to be a lot bigger than a Subaru motor.

seems much larger to me, also having to use 2 exhaust and intake manifolds etc a boxer engine bay seems more crowded than a mall at christmas

I really really hope the rear end stays like this...with some nicer rims, omg:

Scion FRS, very similar, why would tyota produce two cars in the US?

Ill take the frs over the 2nd designed concept.

X2...wtf is with that old school pontiac grand am wing

celica & supra?

i like the 1st concept the most

toyota is now 3 divisions.

lexus now markets luxury cars and sports vehicles.

scion is the brand for the younger crowd

toyota brand is now for econobox appliances. (surprised you cant buy a toyota at home depot yet)

they will not have the toyota ft86 compete over the scion frs.

same way the tc killed the celica.

mos likely its a scion what we will get soon.

Scion FRS is the FT86. All of these concepts are the SAME car underneath - just different panels outside.

In the US we'll have a choice of the Scion FR-S or the Subaru BRZ while the rest of the world will get the choice of the Toyota FT-86 or the Subaru BRZ; the Scion and Toyota will be the exact same car just with different badges and the Subaru will be identical to the Toyotas except for different front/rear fascia and badges...and possibly higher level quality interior.

So, in a nutshell: Toyota FT86 = Scion FRS = Subaru BRZ.

which ill be honest, im starting to dig the scion frs...

I would continue to be bothered by Toyota's stupid decision to market this as a Scion, but there's a good chance I'll be able to buy a Toyota FT-86 when I'm in the position to buy a newer vehicle.

Toyota will be campaigning an FT-86 at VLN this Saturday:

Must say...this car, if it retains the majority of the race car's lines, is sexy as all h*ll. Can not wait to drive one.

And the brochure was leaked:


Im liking the FD style interior, but it looks like a 370z and wrx gang raped a TC on the outside .

that's a brochure for some kind of bodykit. i'd like to see the stock body. right now, it looks ok. not as good as i envisioned. overall, everything i've read has reminded me of a celica!

Well if it is, it looks like just a lip kit and are you sure, because im not sure why they would include interior pictures as well?

go check out the ft86 forum. it's a brochure for the mod bodykit or something. i dont know about the interior but the portion where it states the bodykit name has been cut off.

It's also for the interior because Modellista does the interior modifications for the Vitz (US model Yaris), and Prius in Japan.
