Toyota/Subaru Coupe Caught for First Time

I fully understand that the camouflage serves the purpose of changing the proportions and identity of a car, but I see no way the lines and proportions of this can be nice. Bluntly, this looks like a poor take on a 3-door STi. fyi: I really want to love this car!

While I don't disagree Josh, What you have to take into account is EVERYONE has hated every subaru when it comes out. It always takes 2-3 years for people to warm up to the styling. Everyone hated the bugeye when it came out... everyone hated the flying vee... everyone hated the hatch. Honestly I think this is the first subaru with any type of classic styling since the gc8.

Ever thinked that this could be a mule?

Well we can only pray... But i must say the only impreza I haven't liked initially is the outgoing 5-door. I really wish they'd made a 4-dour STi.

This looks a lot like an Subaru Impreza being a two door coupe. I really hope it doesn't look like that or they got the wrong car. FT-86 Concept is a pretty sleek car, but this? Let's hope that I just see things wrong, because this is not a coupe I been wanting to see and been waiting to see.

OMG, a 3 door STI, do want! The problem is that the hood looks so blank without the scoop, probably because it is n/a.

bah... Where is the turbo?... pointless car if they were developing together a coupe(meaning sportiness), they should have made a really good performance car.

It's probably just a mule to test the chasis...but looking at the wheelbase and the front engine compartment I can some promising lines flowing from the dimensions.

22B for me please

Well it does have an Impreza platform, so I guess it is a test mule.

guys, i think this is not going to be the ft 86 production version. perhaps it will going to be the next gen celica. toyota may be planning to make the ft86 as the next mr2.

Its a toyaru they should call it, should be good if it has a mixed of subaru all wheel drive and toyota excellent build, whats the go with the back lights, could be one of those mercedes benz SLS which started life as a cut up dodge viper as the build up car for the platform, kinda looks like it to me

I hope for a great small coup? with well proportions like the AE86

hmm. i think this is the coupe that will run subaro badge and will be sold only in japan. i hope to see the ft86 hits the ring.

Everyone here seems to be talking more about the looks then what Toyota and Subaru are aiming for since the beginning of the creation of this car, which is a Rear Wheel Drive coupe with low horse power and Superb handling! Also Known As A TRUENO, AE86, Hachiroku or whatever you want to call it. In another case, I think it's kind of too competitive for Toyota and Subaru to create a car that has over 200hp due to the fact that their competitions would be the 370z, BMW 3 series, G37, etc... so if they create this car, it will be within it's own unique class. As for the looks...I believe it's the performance of the car that will show it's true face and make people love it. Just like the GTR and the Z06. I will take the GTR over the Z06, even though I think the Z06 looks more flashy, but after comparing the performance, I take the GTR in a heartbeat.

The proportions are spot on, propper sized bonnet. I hope they don't make the windows too small. I don't think it hasn't got any competition, a bmw 120i/125i coupe comes close, but this would be cheaper I guess.

If this will be the next coupe of Toyota/Subaru .. i have big doubts about its succes !! I guess this is only a mule body on the chassis, and at the end the car will look like the E86 concept, at least they must make it like the Celica was ... that was a nice coupe, this Impreza front with vw corrado back isn't so impressive!

other than the really questionable looks at least it seems to have really good turn in characteristics...

The suspension seems to be too soft. You can clearly see the car 'bounce' coming off the corner as well the handling looks to be poor, the driver had to correct himself a few times.

I dont like the looks of this car yet judging by the video, but since its in test stages and this is the first time ever this has been caught, ill wait till i see more images arise...
