There was a time when Toyota and Scion had concepts that looked totally different from one another, while the less fortunate Subaru BRZ only had an engine, transmission and a transparent body. But the amazing concepts with floating wheels and bold styling soon turned themselves into identical triplets that can barely be set apart.
We all know that Subaru was responsible for most of the engineering work, while Toyota gave us the sports coupe’s looks, but there might be more to it. A recent report from Automotive News suggests that Toyota snuck in some marketing Trojans into the BRZ horse.
At the back of the BRZ, there’s a cluster of lights between the exhaust tips, and supposedly the inverted red triangle is not designed to look like a Formula 1 car’s brake light, but a stylized version of the Toyota “T”.
"The inverted triangle stands for Toyota's 'T' shape. With the T motif, we aim to express our identity," an official told Automotive News at the Tokyo Motor Show.
