Pretty interesting concept if you think about it. I mean in what way does Toyota need Subaru. Toyota is already a market leader in everyway engine and design wise.

.... at a guess i would assume that their going to use it for both manufatures, seeing as toyota owns subaru. D4 engine = going to be a complete f*ck up. so many issues with D4 as it is.

^^^ that looks like a new celica :lol: probably the closest to a toyota of the lot though...

new cars are getting uglier (and they all look the same as evidenced by the replies in this topic)

What are you guys talking about? The first one in this thread looks every bit toyota. But not like an old one (which we are all used to).

Mark X

ISF:

All fairly similar lines IMO.


Any way, we all know it wont looks the same as any of those pictures when it gets produced :P .

I like the orange one Badged Subaru the most, so long as the "dags" came off the headlights.

Yeah, they do look quite similar.
Apart from the front bumper that is. And the grille, and the bonnet, and the headlights, and the front guards. Oh, and the doors, and the rear arches and the roof line.
Otherwise very similar!
