Considering Subaru first debuted the joint-project Toyobaru vehicle at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show in form of the STI Concept, I feel pretty confident rooting for Subaru. But according to 009's post yesterday, this isn't over until the fat lady sings.

009's post from Autocar stipulated that Toyota's racing division, TRD, is working on a supercharged, high-performance GT 86.

Looking at both base cars from the Tokyo Motor Show, it's clear that they're nearly carbon copies of each other. So, we know each automaker likely didn't spend much time differentiating their products in that regard.

I think we're going to see some significant differences when it comes to the high-performance variants. We already know Toyota is gunning for supercharging, while Subaru typically sticks to its turbos.

Who do YOU think is going to shake out with a more compelling, interesting product that will seduce drivers?


The challenge begins.
