Yeah I guess you can say that. Not going to complain about that tho. I actually like Subarus look. Theres also a few spy pictures with a big Subaru type wing.

Guess its just a 2 door, RWD, road worthy, Impreza.

I've always like the Impreza, but this is better IMO and will probably appeal to more buyers.

Mmmmm, the sound of a boxer engine alone just makes me a little moist

It's no mystery I'm a fan of the FT-86, FR-S, whatever you want to call them this week.

The photo chop might be close for the Subaru. I can't wait to see these things and drive one. I liked the Genesis originally, but once I saw them in person... meh. Didn't even test drive one. I hope it's not the same reaction for the FR-S.

If the handling isn't what I expect, it will be huge let down, as well.

don't get me wrong I like Subbie look just like you, and compare to the old "box/econbox" like look, I actually prefer their newer look, and I like their hatch a lot.

but I would expect a bit more than this for their version of FT-86

A rose ('hot hatch') by any other name.

Toyota has really thrown in the sportscar towel.

I like the FT-86 or whatever they call it except for I expect will be meager hp. It will probably be fun and affordable which is good but unless they make a version that can out run a 370z, Mustang GT I'm just not interested.

I see it has the typical (almost-required) strip of LED daytime running lights. No thanks. If you're going to do LED, just have LED headlights and run them in the day as well (dimmer if you'd like).
