Bonjour and Hi Now, since I am now dealing more intensively with Subaru by my choice of the new Impreza, I have noticed many similarities, optically above all, with Toyota and Lexus models. At Impreza, for example, the similarities with Toyota and also with Lexus models start already outside. – Some paint colours bear the same names, which I have also read/seen in the TMC group, for example, without paying attention now to the exactness of the colors. – The standard Scheib Envier at Impreza are the same as at the Toyota Auris and I have only discovered these so far with the two models. (In addition: Which manufacturer is this? ) – In the interior room at Impreza and at Tribeca, which I recently had as a rental car for a few days, the door handles and locking buttons are absolutely identical with those in our Lexus GS. – In addition to the lighting and wiper levers, also various other buttons and buttons on the dashboard are identical with those in the Auris and also in the Prius e.g. – The DVD navigation system in the Tribeca is in form and function a slightly thinner version like the one in the Lexus GS450h. – The automatic selector levers in the Impreza are also identical with those of the Auris with MMT. – Identical headrests in the Impreza and in the RAV-4. These are some examples that fall into the eye at first and second glance. The craziest example is the Subaru Justy. Usually an identical version of the Daihatsu Sirion. Even the upcoming Forester si It looks like a Toyota, whether the technology and features of Toyota models are also taken over is a question that you can’t answer now: Link from Autoblog, for those who are interested:Click The really interesting question now is whether there are similar parts under the hood of Subarus as in e.g. Toyotas and Lexus models. (apart from the official drive) Or else: What could Toyota use for example for Subaru parts in their own models. This topic is quite interesting. Especially the statement, that recently on the Internet was that Subaru not only want to worship vehicles with Boxer engines and Symmetrical-AWD in the future, is very interesting. The first example is the Justy. So can one hope in the future for enhanced cooperations with TMC? Although some unique selling features are expected less at Subaru. That certainly not everyone likes. Especially the Subaru fans don’t. Greetings, He ron
