Exclamation Possible production pics of Subaru BRZ sports coupe!

Looks like we may have gotten a leaked look at the Subaru BRZ before its reveal next week.

BRZ pics (front and rear) - http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2342

Opinions of it compared to the leaked FR-S / FT-86?

I think the FR-S / FT-86 front end looks much more unique and distinctive. Though white looks so much sweeter than that red we've been seeing on the Toyota/Scion version.

Nice so far.

But Subaru without Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive = most likely, they won't get my money.

Hence:
I'd stick with the Toyota version instead because of that.

i like the look of BRZ (especially this production one) a lot more than the FRS concept
this looks a lot more realistic and less childish
BRZ isnt crammed with holes every possible nook they can fit into
it is a lot more tastefully done

id be quite interested in this

The body lines look good.

The wheels and huge wheel gap are not too pleasant looking.

Side by side comparison:

BRZ from link:



GT 86



I feel like the toyota version is much more sporty ...

^ Looking at those pics i agree with you on that too. Not completely sure why, but that Toyota version does look much sportier to me. The grill and the front lines on the Toyota might be it lol

Yeah ... That, and the toyota headlights have much shaper lines. The BRZ has more rounded headlights...

Th toyota grill just looks mean! (Compared to the smiling subaru one )
