    Subaru BRZ/Scion FR-S = Toyota Supra??

    Help me settle an argument. I've looked at this new Subaru BRZ because a friend of mine linked me to a video of two drivers nutting over the chance to drive it. When the first image of the car came up my first thought was "its a toyota supra!!"

    So what do you think... does the new BRZ look like (or at least take its stying cues from) the Toyota Supra? It is a joint venture with Toyota anyway. My friend thinks itl looks nothing like a supra, but I think the styling is exactly where a supra would be if it had been allowed to evolve.

    crap... i wanted to add a poll but hit the wrong button... oh well..

    Doesn't remind me of a supra either. What I do see is a big fat failure on the part of Subaru.

    I dunno... it really reminded of either a supra or a 350z

    edit - i do agree with the fail part though.

    Yep reminds me of the Hyundai Genesis.

    The Supra made its name because it was like no other vehicle of its day. Why can't car companies just think outside the box anymore?

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Looks like an even more underpowered Genesis to me. I am sure the turn in feels great while you are getting buses put on you by Toyota Avalons.
