FT-86 oooooooohhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

I'm sure you've all seen some rendition of this mysterious Subaru / Toyota love-child that has been on-again-off-again over the past couple years

Now, here it is in a very close-to-production version but hopefully it comes to fruition under current market conditions I have been awaiting this model for a long time and when you see it I think you'll understand why

I would love a torquey-flat-four with awesome NA response in an FR layout and a tuned suspension for some sunny and hot days

Is this a hybrid car that runs on water and solar panels,or is it sporting a Subaru boxer motor

I hope to be in the market for one of these!

Wow That's nice I'd buy one if I had the money...and it had a Flat 4 Boxer engine with Asymetrical AWD and came in Black on Black

Although the Toyota branded Suabru built FT-86 concept is ready to show at the Tokyo Motor Show...Subaru is hoping to have a similar version which will fly the Subaru Brand...See http://www.scoobyblog.com/2009-10-08/subarus-version-of-toyota-tf-86-toyobaru-subayota

I have always been brand loyal...so I'll have to wait for the Subaru

This FT-86 oozes FUN! I'm hoping that it's just a simplified raw car that goes back to basics: low cost, performance car for the enthusiast, powertrain, drivetrain, and suspension with massive potential, and without the ridiculous 'e-nanny' babysitter sniping at your ear & shutting you down for every spirited maneuver you attempt......I really hate that

I wish it went as far as having a real throttle cable as opposed to a drive-by-wire arrangement and NOT direct fuel injection. Cruise control?!?!?!? Who needs that in a purist car?!? I'm already kinda cringing seeing the manual trans shift indicator on the cluster but a 6-speed RWD is a good start provided it's from the Subie gods matched behind Subie boxer technology. Get this retailing for under $20k and they will have a WINNER whether Toyota or Subaru badged!!

Wishful thinking but I'll find out soon enough and update you guys from first-hand knowledge

Hi guys. I don't think this would be an under $20K car, if it was under $20K then imagine comparing it to a Scion TC which one would you get?....Heard from FLD reports it was going to be in the $25K and up range to go up against Nissan's 370Z and Mazda's RX's...It was in one of those links to subie.tv. Very nice though....hmmmmm But still i wish it was under $20K...so we can have more fun.

could this possibly be the new and improve Subie sportster.

If the second site is the new Subaru sedan, than that is one ugly looking car, it looks deformed. Are u sure they are not making the movie "Cars".

CONFIRMED: 216A Subaru's iteration of Toyota's FT-86. You can definitely see the resemblance in the design partnership.

I really like this but may be more inclined to get the FT-86 for the FR layout revival. I miss my old '85 Corolla GT-S. The 216A is a beautiful car in its own respect.
