EG33 In a Scion FR-S Promo Video?!
What is going on here?! The 4cyl boxer used in the FR-S is completely new from Subaru. Funny - I think someone at Toyota had an SVX in the past and figured no one would notice

Re: EG33 In a Scion FR-S Promo Video?!
I'm considering buying a Subaru BRZ so I'm watching all these videos since the Scion FR-S (and Toyota 86) are the same car.
The BRZ is a joint development from Subaru and Toyota - I don't think there is any ownership (yet) between the parent companies themselves. The joint development in the engine mostly pertains to the fuel delivery system (Toyota) ...but the boxer itself is 100% Subaru.

Re: EG33 In a Scion FR-S Promo Video?!
Isn't that illegal?
As in showing the car with a significantly larger engine than it's actually got?Can Fiat make an infomercial of Panda with a Ferrari V12 in it?

Re: EG33 In a Scion FR-S Promo Video?!
Toyota own 16.5% of FHI and rumoured to be another 20% through investment companies they wholly or partly own.
Toyoata basically pay for all of Subaru R&D on joint and future projects.
