Car companies working together usually goes well. Of course, there are some instances when partnerships have gone wrong. The combination of Chrysler and Mercedes-Benz was the worse German-American partnership since Mr. Busch met Mr. Anheuser and developed that tasteless brew called Budweiser. Those keen TopGear watchers will know that’s not our joke, but it worked here anyways.
The same can be said of Daewoo and Chevrolet. Sure, they made some cheap cars, but they were just terrible. In fact, they might have set Chevrolet back a few years in Europe, due to cheapness image they still have.
We’re not sure if this is going to happen with Toyota and Subaru. Both of these companies are strong and create wonder vehicles that are fun to drive on one end and practical on the other. This combination might make for the best all-around Japanese entry-level sports car we have ever seen.
UPDATE 11/28/2011: With the production version Toyota GT 86 finally showing its face to the world, it’s no surprise that there are new "leaked" images of the production Subaru BRZ out on the internet. If you look closely, the base BRZ will come with the same 200 HP that the new GT-86 is sporting, bringing these two models closer than originally anticipated. Subaru’s promised 300 HP will be present in the STI version, leading us to believe that a G-Sports variant for the GT-86 will bring forth the same amount of power. (FT86 Club)
