They'll all exactly the same car that's just so stupid I hate the idea that all those cars are identical besides the badges, what is happening to the awesome Japanese sportscars.... not to mention these cars claim 0-100 in 6.5 seconds and I find that hard to believe when I know a number of cars that have the same power and are lighter and just as new with the same systems can't achieve those acceleration figures. Here's a link to the cars stats, these cars irritate the hell out of me the FT86 is apparently a copy of the Subaru which was what the original design was based on I'm told what blasphemy imagine a Ford AE86 or a Kia Civic Type R yuck

Rob, i can understand where you coming from but i disagree these 2 companies came together to do the R&D on these vehicles, to make a better more fun car. plus Toyota owns a Part of Fuji Heavy Industries Which owns Subaru. And they are collaborating on the New Celica, so its not really a case of one company copying from the other. more like one car under 2 different brands

Agree! Guys, remember, since the bloody Supra Toyota have had rubbish in terms of "performance" cars. It's a match made in heaven to have the Fuji Heavy Industries team work along with Toyota technicians and come up with something remotely sporty.

Personally I actually like these new FT's
