GM sold Toyota its 20% share of FHI several years ago. So Toyota has far from a controlling share, albeit a large one.
From what I've heard, Subaru are seriously considering bringing this to Australia.
We will know next year, it will be mid 30's price wise if it does come here.

I don't think its fair to continuously compare it to the WRX and STI, Subaru already make those cars, so their not going build a direct competitor for their own models.
It is its own model.
Its like saying the Corolla should have a v6 because the Aurion does.

If its going to cost approx $30k its not bad but it does look a little soft to me. Interior looks nice (they should add that interior to the WRX/STI).

STI version with turbo + awd + attitude, please.

I thought AWD wasn't possibly as the engine was further back than before?

Nice little slider to compare the 86 vs BRZ

Is it a Toyota or a Subaru?

Plus it seems the debate over who is more responsible for development of the car has already started. Nick Senior still seems to be 50/50 about the idea of bringing it to Oz.

Some videos have appeared from SUBARUonTube.
BRZ 1st Drive
SUBARU BRZ FIRST IMPRESSION
SUBARU BRZ FIRST IMPRESSION 東京モーターショー来場者へのメッセージ

Last 2 videos are in Japanese, 2nd video has a fair amount of time spent in cabin, exhaust has a nice tune to it!
