The 86 has arrived :D

There is very similar Subaru called BRZ. Fazda, do you know if it is the same car or different? Since now Subaru is part of Toyota.

Joint development, so the same car essentially.

Just googled myself. Ja, it is the same car.

Yes, same car different grilles and badges, that's all. They are all built on the same line at the FHMI Subaru plant in Japan.

0-100 is 7.5 according to our spec sheet.

Sound is interesting - very definite Subaru beat outside, but quiet. Sitting in the cart, however, there is a special duct to bring the sound to you - so it actually sounds better inside, than outside!

Special duct, or is it done with loudspeakers?

Very nice.

HUGE loudspeaker attached to the exhaust!

I know the new 911 actually has ducts, which you can open and close. I would rather go for one of those

heh. Golf 6 has a loudspeaker in the plenum under the dashboard. BMW M5 feeds engine noise into the car radio's DSP!

I honestly don't know how this works, just that it does..

Do you guys think this car will make an appearance on TopGear?

10/10!
"Twin sister to the Subaru BRZ, and therefore one of the best driving sports cars of the last decade. Get one."

Just went for a test drive, absolutely amazing! Twitching to make the purchase :/ Pearl white, wow!

What do you guys think of the high spec version? I can't decide if the extra 30k is worth delaying the purchase.

From talking to the sales guy it looks as if the console unit is exactly the same between the two models so the only difference would be xenon, leather, 17inch and few other goodies.

I'm going for my test drive on Saturday - can't wait!
Just saw this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jmVHaEjT8A&feature=player_embedded

Brought a tear to my eye. There's so much beauty in this world

The difference, as you say, is xenon, leather,touch screen radio, blue teeth, push button start and keyless entry, 17" wheels, plus spoiler on the boot and quad exhausts - if anyone wants, I can deliver immediately - if you are serious pm me.

 

[xrapidx]

You can deliver high spec immediately?

 

[Quantum Theory]

wow

You've given so much to this discussion... Thank you.
