Sometimes 2+2=4 but in the case of Toyota’s chairman Akio Toyoda ripping some donuts in a Subaru WRX STI rally car, it’s more like 1+1=3. No, we didn’t forget how to use our abacus as Best Car Web shared this interesting story. You see, Toyota and Subaru got into bed a long time ago and the love child from that rendezvous was the Toyobaru twins, the Toyota GT86 and the Subaru BRZ. Since then, their relationship has only deepened with the new generation of the GR86 and the new BRZ twin as well as

The first Toyobaru twin, the Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ are probably the best sports cars for beginners. While it has only been 2 years since the second generation was introduced, Toyota is rumoured to have already started development of the next generation but without the help of Subaru. Japanese automotive publication, Best Car Web reported that the next generation of the GR86 could be utilising the turbocharged 1.6-litre 3-cylinder engine as seen in the GR Corolla and GR Yaris. While the two

Toyota is currently on a roll, slapping its Gazoo Racing badge on new models, including on the Yaris, creating the stonking little Toyota GR Yaris in the process. Now, if a report from overseas is to be believed, then it looks like the next recipient of the hallowed GR badging is the next-generation Toyota 86. But before you get confused, keep in mind that Toyota has two GR badges - GR for performance-oriented models and GR Sport is for cars with slight chassis upgrades but with limited-to-no-ch

The Toyota GR Yaris, despite being an entry-level Gazoo Racing model, isn’t cheap, but Tamiya has found a solution in the form of a newly-released 1/32 Mini 4WD model. Priced at a mere JPY 1,210 (about RM 48), it is roughly 5,666 times cheaper than the actual GR Supra. Being a Tamiya model, the details from the GR Yaris are accurately scaled down, which includes the aggressive headlights, flared arches, and carbon fibre roof. The 1/32 version of the GR Yaris is based on Tamiya’s VZ Chassis, slig

A common complaint for the Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ, or some call them the Toyobaru, is that it lacks power. This is a rather controversial topic because some are adamant that it isn’t about the straight-line performance, it’s all about the fun, twisty bits. However, it seems feedback from both sides have been taken into consideration. According to Best Car, the next generation Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ will use a larger, 2.4-litre naturally aspirated flat-four engine that makes 220 PS and 240 Nm of

As much as enthusiasts such as myself lament the inevitable demise of manual transmissions (MT), there is simply no business case for manufacturers to continue offering a manual option. Instead, dual-clutch transmissions (DCT) or traditional automatic transmissions (AT) are taking over their place. Admittedly, I have defended manual transmissions since the birth of YouTube comment section, not that I participate in them, it's only mental replies. But no longer am I oblivious to the preferences o
