To many of us, the Toyota GT 86 Coupe is one of the most highly anticipated cars, this year at least. The sweet-looking coupe gave the AE 86 a new lease of life and should be in the bucket list of many around the world.
As you would have known, Subaru is also producing its version of the GT 86, called the BRZ which made its first public appearance at the Tokyo Motor Show. Just like the Toyota version, it is motivated by a four-cylinder 2.0 liter engine with 197 hp and 205 Nm of torque. There are subtle differences here and there, including different front bumpers.
At the same time, Subaru also revealed the Super GT Subaru BRZ race car which will compete in the GT300 class of the 2012 Super GT Series :) So which version you prefer? Toyota’s or Subaru’s?
why not just call it breeze and save us breaths
this one better
both toyota’s n subaru’s rear look same..huuu
Definitely the BRZ! The froht end looks so much nicer. Generally the whole car is more sporty.
Sti please!
subaru punya lg cantik.
Oh! Come on! What happened to subaru? No more personality for itself!
Oh! Come on! What happened to Perodua? No more personality for itself!
LOL
Oh! Come on! What happened to Proton? No more personality for itself!
What is perodua compare to subaru?
i like toyota-subaru-daihatsu-perodua-yamaha-hino
cheers…
and lexus too
dude..this article is about S.U.B.A.R.U..not perodua..geez..sick of the defender/basher of malaysian car..
New Toyota AE86’s Rebadge?? oh gosh…at 1st i tot it was Porsche and Peugeot…
Agreed! Me too, 1st look at 1st pic, the word Porsche jumps to mind. The cars shape/silhouette, at a glance does strongly shows it.
i’ll choose the toyota gt 86…
so whats de different except the minor change of bumper ??!! So in the end , you only will buy BRZ bcs u like subaru or u are subaru fans ……..
I think Subaru’s will be AWD….
I would pick the BRZ over the GT86 based on looks ….
People will buy the Subaru version probably because of the boxer engine. Boxer = Subaru. It’s been Subaru’s tradition for ages.
But what about Boxer = Toyota???? Doesn’t seem right to me.
err this is totally rebadged in action…
hardly any identity of a subaru, why did they do this?
it doesn’t seem much different at all from the toyota version.
No it’s not a rebadged at all.Subaru engineered the car’s chassis/handling/steering and supplied the engine; Toyota designed the car
what i meant was its like taking a GT-86, change bumper and logo and wallaa….a subaru (thats a rebadge work).
i agree they did contribute to the car though, but i think it needs more differentiation.
I’ll buy whichever is cheaper cos essentially they are the same
I think this design is suitable to Subaru since that “eagle eye” design is similar to the impreza.. Toyota’s.. something not quite right somewhere.. IDK..
same thought here…
i know GT86 and Sub BRZ is the same car but something in the Toyota seems to be out of the picture somehow. =(
BRZ looks better IMHO, must be the color. =P
No fight, compared to the initial concept FT-86.
oh what?,come on lah japanese nowdays so lazy,even wira and lancer have a lot of cosmetic difference,hurmm.i,m a very dissapointed.
at least perodua is kinda “rajin” with their local line up here..LOL
This is suppose to be a Subaru’s.. its design is similar to other current model in Subaru. If I see BRZ then in my mind I can tell its Subaru straight away. but if I see GT86.. I kinda pause a bit if its a Toyota..
Both version looked fat and stubby.
Nothing beats the raw and original hachiroku.
its same with passo n justy :)…for me, subaru brz look better than 86 :)
doesn’t matter, great car.
i die die believe this come from europe until i see the title.
oh man…Toyota 86?
At 1st glance for the front look i thought it was a peugeot
and the back looks like E60 5 series back
Magical design job by a company called Dejavu
The latest 86 video from Toyota was just released yesterday… Looks pretty solid guys.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pCXsFDlvns
Peugeot nose….
where’s the comments condemning subaru a copycat like MyVi or Inspira case ??!
“Neither Toyota nor Subaru. I will wait for Perodua’s version CKDed in Rawang. Made in Malaysia lorr. Maybe waiting for the Extreme version with some bodykit and bling-bling here and there” said Ah Beng to reporter last night when asked about the barand he prefers. :-)
LOL
Guys GT86 and BRZ is the same. Developed by both company together.
but subaru will have an STi version of BRZ which will produce almost 300 bhp.
yeah i think the badge suits Subaru more.. toyota, can u just stick back to FT86’s body pls?
who copied who??
which one is cheaper? I’ll choose it
front look like Pug CRZ or the 308 lines before they move away to the new front grille/bumper design
but still looks good
the name so lame la.
honda has CRZ
so subaru has BRZ.
and peugeot got RCZ.
-_- we have 26 alphabets. go find others.
Hey!!! It’s front and rear lights are inter-changeable!
Just kiddin………
Most Peugeot cars are useless on design. Forte Koup could challenge new Subaru
Seem better than T.
Aiyo, Mr T-san, wake up!
hey,…this reminds me of Nissan 280 Z fairlady….. I don’t understand why both Toyota & Subaru share the same design….same platform ok but same design. Hay change la sikit front light, tail light or engine. Now days japanese designers are becoming lazy…..
Just my 2 sen
I’d rather have the Toyota over this.
nobody gonna say this brz got grill looks like GTR?hahaha..sure,coz its jap..if its a hyundai,sure lot basher gonna say genesis coupe copy this copy that~hahahaha
I’ll take the safer one. The one with the rollcage and stickers.
subaru looks better with the rear bumper diffuser but not so much with the Peugeot 308 plastic mouth guard
why subaru why???
i thought you are special.. sigh
Looks great!
perodua plz rebadge this….
tail light is still the biggest turnoff…..
A Subaru without all wheel drive is not a true Subaru. And I prefer my brz with the sti ‘s 2.5l turbocharged flat four
peugeot rcz copy version
It seems that most comments are about looks and design of the car only.. No one discusses about the performance, modding potential or more importantly the fun factor of the car?
BMW 1 series coupe can topple this car easily..without any doubt..BMW still the best!!!
bmw = banyak masuk worksyopp
BMW=Bawa Mati Woooooo……
“Just like the Toyota version, it is motivated by a four-cylinder 2.0 liter engine with 197 hp and 205 Nm of torque.”
proton’s turbocharged cfe only 1.6 but already 205Nm torque. give it 2.0 and already pawns this engine LOL
That’s Turbo you smart….haih…..
cheapo but powerful engine, that’s MODERN and EFFICIENT
why not replace this archaic engine with better one, perhaps one step higher?
bro.. turbo vs NA the throttle response the same ah?
stupid japs, why not give it 2.0 turbo engine?
dun want to pay higher price for this n/a engine, afraid be taken over by “junks” like neo and persona turbo. where to put face
To me, this engine is the real deal. No turbo, supercharger,… etc. Just pure raw high-revving power. And I love NA engines. Definitely for enthusiasts.
Not enough torque la…i was expecting somewhere above 270Nm….quite dissapointed with the production design after the wonderful concept…
Dissapointed they play safe instead of pushing their limit…
I wanted to change my 2005 coupe for this car in 2015…now i think i get a European coupe
any words regarding the price? please let it be less than 250K.
Put on ur ass ley
when the latest subaru impreza wrx sti sedan version going to come malaysia?
