Star Confusion

2013 Subaru BRZ


The Toyota 86 might be the first but it's not the only one. Appeared in the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, the production-spec 2013 Subaru BRZ is a Toyota 86 with a different flavor. At first glance, it looks the same as the Toyota 86 but the BRZ has a different front.

This is a joint venture between Toyota and Subaru, and you should expect the same boxer engine developed within the joint venture.


2012 Subaru BRZ Race Car

What's cool is that the Subaru BRZ is coming at the Super GT300 season soon, replacing the Subaru Legacy B4 GT300 Race Car. We think it's cool to see the BRZ in racing guise but will it work?

We are sure that the BRZ naming is confusing. Think CR-Z and RCZ, that's confusing and it was like Alpha Bert's arranging the letters of these. BRZ stands for "Boxer Rear-wheel-drive Zenith" and this is the first FR car from Subaru. Like the Toyota 86, the Subaru BRZ will debut in the first half of 2012.

2013 Scion FR-S

Let's not forget that the 2013 Scion FR-S is now out in the open. This is just somewhat an Americanized version of the 2013 Toyota 86, and it will go on sale in North America next year.
