Ok so I started this thread for any news or updates so anyone from Australia or new Zealand can let us know what's going on with he ca down here.

As we already know the G-Sports version is appearing at the sydney show and I think it would be common sense to bring the ft/fr-86/s down with it.

Also in the September issue of wheels on page 15 they have a little article on the Subaru "FT- 86" (that's what they called it) In which they say is rumored to have a slightly modified version of the current subaru 2.0-litre turbo boxer four, othter than the Toyota modified head engine. The rest is the same of what we've been hearing modified legacy platform, almost identical to Toyota twin but more aggressive due to flares, air intakes and hood scoop. But what I think is new news they say:

"According to one insider, testing of. He Subaru- and Toyota- has already started at the nurburgring, carried out by Subaru test divers. Expect to see it debut a the Tokyo Motor Show next year."
