Spy Shots: Toyota/Subaru coupe caught in the wild - Autoblog

Spy shots of mule toyota/subaru FR coupe for the upcoming AE86 return.

Supossedly we won't get the toyota version, just the subaru version. But I am already saving up.

 

If that's supposed to be the new AE86.....

That thing is ugly
I'm dissapointed.

It's a disguised test mule, using body panels from the current Subaru Legacy

 

my god...wth... :(

 

Doesn't get me excited, the WRX basically has the same HP and this looks to be close in price.

The styling is kind of blah, Subaru has gone from aggressive exciting styling to this bland blanket style half the other cars have right now. Either they fix the styling or throw an extra 100hp at it to make this catch my interest :rolleyes:

 

i always wonder, what do they do with the test mules afterward? do they get auctioned off or are they destroyed? where have they all gone?

 

dear Toyota/Subaru,

i'll buy this one:

i would drive one

It probably won't look anything like the spy shots. The only thing you can get from those pics about the production version will be the wheelbase, ride height, and seat height. The seats are recaro and the postion looks low. I believe this is gonna be one sick car if their benchmark is the civic type r.

 

is it me only? I'm finding the back to be very ugly but then AE86 doesn't look that good anyway to start off. It just a great car

 

OH MY F GOD that sh*t look like a BEAST!!!!!! SOLD ME!!! How much? 30K-40K??? :(

 

IIRC, Edmunds Inside Line (or was it autoblog.com?) said the RWD 2.0L naturally aspirated longitudinally opposed boxer engine (130-150hp) will be priced between 20-30k. there will be a turbo RWD and AWD version making about the same numbers as the base wrx. no solid evidence yet, just speculation.

 

..........................W o w ! !

 

funny thing was i never looked at this as the return of the ae86. toyota will never get back to those roots on its own, much less on a joint venture with subie.

and they benchmarked the usdm integra type r, not the civic type r.


according to edmunds, the engine is supposed to be an n/a making around 200 hp, i didn't realize now it was going to be turbo.


and price wise its going to be starting at 20k.


i really don't think we should complain, hp or otherwise, being 109 hp(for the most part;) ) fwd supcompact guys.:rolleyes:

 

FR coupe at around $25K would be super. :wavey:

but too bad it's made by 2 of the j-car companies i hate. :rotfl:

 

why the dissapointment? was the ae86 about looks?

 

i thought it was all about maintaining water in some cup? :confused:


:p

 

harity har har.:)

 

the subaru coupe is badass. I can only imagine driving the Impreza Coupe STi. That thing looks menacing

 

too bad this project is on hold till the economy turns around
