The Toyota/Subaru coupe kerfuffle continues. This time a report in the Japanese magazine Best Car says two very different prototypes have been spotted testing. Both ride on the platform used for the new Subaru Legacy, but Best Car didn't speculate on the styling of either coupe.
The magazine claims to know the exterior dimensions, however, pinning the length at 165.4-inches, the width at 68.9-inches and the height at 51.2-inches. Those numbers would make it considerably smaller than the Hyundai Genesis Coupe in every dimension. That said, Best Car still claims that both of the coupes will have rear seats, although it does describe them as "emergency"seats, so they will be small indeed.

kerfuffle "to become disheveled" according to Webster. Interesting word.
I'm hoping the Subaru version is RWD and AWD choices.

That looks like a styling rip off from the Genesis Coupe. Who would have thought a Hyundai for a stylistic base?!

Looks like SLK or LA-F to me. But Best Car always takes wild guesses at what future cars will look like - don't read anything into it.
Glad to hear there are at least prototypes.

I'm not particularly enamored by the Genesis Coupe's styling, so I'm not really taken by this.

I like this, and the IS-F front end is aggressive, but will have to let the younger single guys play with this one. I need useable back seats!

Oh good grief, that front grille and fascia is even more wierd for wierdness sake than the genesis' wide mouth gape!
