Subaru twin bigger/badder than FT-86

Found this article that the Subaru Twin of the FT-86 will be bigger and badder than the Toyota version. Subaru version will be all wheel drive turbo and the FT-86 will be rear wheel drive. I have alot of hope for this car but sometimes I wish Toyota would stop being so conservative and bring out a affordable coupe that is fast, good looking, and handles well. Maybe two out of three ain't bad. http://www.7tune.com/confirmed-bigge...r-subaru-216a/

What do you mean "two out of three ain't bad"???

The FT-86 will be fast, GORGEOUS, and handle like a dream!!

Subaru's version is longer, wider, taller, and a hell of lot heavier. Oh and I forgot to mention, way more $$$!!!!

So what if it has more power, for the amount of $$$ you'll save buying the Toyota you could easily reach the same HP numbers.

Plus, I'll take RWD over AWD anyday!!

Just my opinion...

Instead of assuming or speculating what Toyota or Subaru will bring out, why don't you just be patient and see what the ACTUAL vehicles will be when they are released. Perhaps they will surprise us. s

Wow...for once the Toyota is the better looking one, the Subaru is disappointingly plain looking. Plus I definitely prefer having the RWD over the AWD. There's enough fast affordable AWD cars, there's barely any RWD ones left.

Yeah I guess you guys are right. I shouldn't jump to conclusions. I do like the rear drive set up and like the looks alot better. I guess we'll have to wait and see about the engine and drivetrain.
