This is from an FTO site. They went to the 'Ring and saw some new Scoobies. Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere...

Question

Have Subaru and Toyota got something going on here, or is it just me?

Stick a bonnet vent and 2 round spotlamps on a Corolla GTi-16 and in your rear view mirror you could mistake it for an early Scoob! Now it appears that yet again at a glance in your rear view mirror (with those headlamps), the new Scoob would resemble the current Corolla!

Hmmm?

Which Corolla are you talking abt??
The NZE121/ZZE120G just went on sale in Japan?
Yes, the 120/121 series Corolla does look like a grown-up Prius and the lights looks far too big in some angles. Wonder why the most powerful engine (190ps) is only offered in the estate version.

Hi Clarence,

Toyota just launched the new one here last week, interior looks really nice but externally its looks very dull, a really crap stature aswell.

Haven't seen you here for a while? any news on the new STi and how it drives?

Hey guys,
what's up? Instead of asking all these question, did you know Subaru in Japan actually has an official website?
You can see everything about the new car, exterior, interior etc..
The only problem, you can't probably read anything, but hey the Imp is a japanese car after all!
Yes, japanese, not japs, got it??

Hi Mark,
No news on the new STi yet, I guess we all possess the same amt of info on that car. Rumour is that it'll be launched in Japan very soon.
New Corolla, it's the NZE121 then. What's ur opinion on the new Civic? 15ps less and much softer than before.
You going to the New Impreza test in Taimar?
