At first from the front I sort of thought it was a Hyundai Veloster, but looked a bit like a Genesis Coupe... then it struck me that the latter isnt for sale here, and when passed it, I looked back and saw the distinctive 86/BRZ rear end. Heck, I might even have it captured on my dash cam. Ill go look through the footage.


wow brz in aus. did you check your footage yet?

Looked at one of these yesterday. My opinion

ITS A SUBARU, not Toyota. The body panals are stamped Subaru.
Very comfortable seats, been the back seat is comfortable, useless though.
Boot is pointless, could fit a small suitcase but that's about, don't even think a 15" sub will fit.
Build quality is a bit so-so,.
Cool feature, when you open the door the window drops a inc, then when you close the door the window will go back up, too make the door close easier and don't need to slam the door


Would I trade the Liberty in on one, no way.
Would I buy one over VRX, Yes. But they are two different cars

Looks like Toyota is really bringing back their line of spot cars.. There's even a joint venture with BMW to bring back the SUpra
