FTO AUSTRALIA

The greatest comparison to the FTO is the DB9. It looks like an updated version of the FTO.
The lines are more crisp, less aesthetic bumps, etc.

I 100% Agree with this!! - Love the DB9

People aren't as interested in agressively fast looking cars anymore, car market is slowly but surely dying out for people like us i think the 86/BRZ might be the last one of its kind we see in a while.

Let's just hope it sells dam well, and encourages others to follow and to make a 'car enthusiast' car again!

I've been trying to talk my parents into getting a BRZ once they are release
I think it will be on their test-drive list at least

Its on my to do list funds pending next year, not exactly sure how much this race FTO is going to set me back - least i can get stuck in next week when i finally move and have a garage all to myself that can easily fit 4 cars - love old QLD houses garage space

When I had my FTO everyone thought i bought it brand new..

Wow lol not trying to be a dick but
Your car has $500 worth of damage
You owe me $500
You owe Dwayne for the bonnet
You have to still buy a half cut for your blue project
You have to muck around getting it in and running plus your awd conversion
You just moved into a house and got engaged
And you work at aldi?
How are you going to get a brz/86 next year? Lol

Dealing drugs and/or selling his body.

My car does not have 500 damage, I don't have to buy a half cut and tinker with awd right now as of this second, I'm close to paying my fto off altogether, I'm about to move nut bond is paid, rent is the same and we have everything between us, I have 2 jobs, and make 50 a year and I can easily get another car loan when this one is paid off in a few months sooo.... How is buying a car nearly 2 years from now going to be a problem?

i believe its more the practicality wise, will u be workin at aldi for the next 2 yrs and after? car - depreciation car loan = even worse , should be more focusing on house savings etc but eh everyones different

I love how this has suddenly turned into people telling me what i should be doing with my life...


And Phi, i have a looong f**king list to get through before i go all white picket fence yet...

No no I wasn't trying to tell you how to live your life And sorry if it sounded rude (which it was)
Didn't even think about a car loan either so yeah it is quite possible you could get a brz next year and oh taz you still keen to do some DIY ing Tomorow man?
And back on topic I saw another Gto today while in the work van and I'm starting to like them a bit more (still ugly though)

im waiting to see which is the 'better' car before i make my mind up... im 50/50 at the mo

The Subaru or the Toyota?
we will be trying both I think...

Toyota apparently is trying to release a supercharged version, however as of the last rumor i read suburu have a better tune on the car. They are officially 'twins' with the only REAL difference being the manufacturers tune and special upgrades (i.e. the toyota supercharger)


What im surprised about is that this will be the first and probably only suburu car that isnt awd, must be a pretty damned good car to break the rules of suburu..

Yea I was reading they are looking at a TRD model, and a Tuned Subaru model, but won't be calling it an STI

im leaning toward the subby

Rumor is they are developing the engine to be put in the new line of WRX's when they come out if all goes well for it...
