So i was walking with my Armour of Folore on, when this guy hits me in the face.

even though i have +10 to defense, my face couldnt block his fist. as i laid there crying, a bright light shined onto my face, i think it was god. he said son i bring you a gift, a gift so powerful that even the demons in hades would cry. please take this gift and show the world the true meaning of your existence.

as the light faded, a person yanked me off the ground, and told me i was under arrest for indecent exposure. apprantly my cloak of invisibility didnt work, so yep.

The Subaru brand has not exactly been the prime example of a fuel-efficient automaker. Its recent partner Toyota has been missing from boys' posters of their favourite hot hatches and sports cars. Together the companies decided to rectify this situation by creating the 086A Project, a small sports car destined to take the best of both; performance with fuel-efficiency.

So far it's been going well but the eco snag has hit the project harder, possibly because of the current state of the world economy but more so because of tighter government pressures. The result of all this is that the 086A will now get less power from its rumoured 2.0-litre boxer engine. What was thought to be a 147kW (200hp) spicy two-door has instead turned into a 118kW (160hp) mild ginger. Incidentally the two respective power figures appear on the VW Scirocco's spec sheet as well. Never mind we are told, the car has also lost some weight to counter this sudden power-shedding.

More still is that the primary target market has shifted from a younger set to buyers between 30 and 50 years of age. The much-depleted Tokyo Motor Show coming up in October will provide the first official public glimpse of Project 086A and executives are sure to be present in order to gauge public reaction.

I have all the expansion maps , next time your on we need to hit KZ.

I am glad Toyo/Suby are making this sports car, it gives the consumer more options. I wonder what the weight is going to be for this car sporting a 160HP/200HP motor?

With Toyota making a sports car, it's going to be as reliable as the sun.

Yeah I totally did. Before you said that I was looking at the picture thinking "if they just replace the toyota badge with a Mazda badge, that could be the new rx7.

that is definitely a photoshop of the mazda version, no doubt about it.

look at the rear fenders, the window, the door, hell look at the most obvious front fascia.. and the wheel stance

On the bright side, Toyota can reuse their marketing campaign for the TRD Celica Action Package - "Action Package: Looks Fast."
