Or a Genesis. But looks are not what’s going to sell this to enthusiasts, it’s the FR + Motor.

It looks cool to me, i don’t know if it’s the lighting or the color, I feel like I can’t see all the body lines, the back looks a bit weird.

Looks like a ricer got a hold of the front bumper… then moved to the fenders with some M5 flare… and then didn’t stop there, continuing to the back of the car too.

So, what exactly are the rice boys supposed to do if the car already comes with a gaudy body kit on all sides? Maybe they’ll come out with an even worse body kit with LED’s EVERYWHERE…

I don’t hate it (which is rare for me and a toyota product). That being said, how long is this car going to remain a “concept” that they just keep repainting and putting new bumpers on and showing at auto shows?

Gotcha, I was kinda sharing the same feelings as MPD47 and starting to doubt this would ever make it to production.

FT-86 ~ 200hp  
BRZ ~ 300hp

> The new Subaru BRZ coupé will have the lowest centre of gravity of any production car when it goes on sale next summer, according to the manufacturer.  
> Power outputs, however, will differ with a Subaru-spec ECU liberating the BRZ’s power to “less than 300bhp,” compared with the FT-86’s 200bhp figure.
