Neither, was a collaborative effort.
:O was it?! why would they do that :S
a team effort; Toyota designed the car ( I think) and Subaru supplied the Engine. For every 10 Toyota 86's, one Subaru BRZ is made IINM
Not quite sure, the car doesn't fit in with Subaru's range by either looks or philosophy. I guess the boxer engine is good for the dynamics of the 86 though.
Does that mean the Subaru is better quality / more expensive?
Yeah, it doesn't ahh okay
not sure about better quality, but more expensive and rare I'm guessing
Okay then, well you learn something new everyday :L
Not really. The car is just Toyota's baby and they are the bigger company so get the larger share of cars manafactured. There is only one spec level for the BRZ, sits somewhere in between 86 options.
Toyota have said they would look into a new Supra if the demand was there and the 86 was succesful. Toyota and BMW are making a sports car on a shared platform too. Not sure if it's a good idea, BMW seems to have lost their way - the 4 series looks horrible, the sports kit for it looks like something HSV would do, and they killed off the M3 by making the 4 series.
Only the coupe, the sedan will still be known as the 3 series and thus the M3 remains alive. It was so stupid though to change it, how hard was it just to have different codes like before? (e90,e92,e93)
Yeah, when I think of an M3 I always think of a coupe though. The most iconic M3 generation would either be the E30 or E46 and wikipedia confirms my belief that they both only came as coupes lol. If you want a sedan may as well look into an M5.
I'd take an M3 over an M5 any day.
I reckon its hilarious to us sydney siders hahaha. oh yeah I also remember jeremy clarkson made a joke about their M4 highway over in england too
