Shhh! It's not "perfect" ... otherwise they won't make a better one. ;-)

Toyota has just released the build-your-own Toyota 86RC in New Zealand.

There's also rumours that the Toyota boss wants to bring in another sports car, perhaps using the Supra badge, possibly in conjunction with Mercedes Benz. The motoring section of the New Zealand Herald suggested a bigger version of the Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ with a bigger engine.

If they're going to swap out the engine with a GM V8, then what is there left in here that makes this a Subaru? The chassis & transmission was Toyota, and the engine was Subaru in the regular car. Now it's a Toyota and a GM. I know Subaru used to be owned by GM at one time, but not anymore.

The name tag on the back of course. ;-)
