Scion's FR-S concept. Image: Toyota Motor Sales USA We’re still a month away from the unveiling of the Subaru BRZ (and likely the Scion FR-S/Toyota FT-86) at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show, but details on the differences between the cars are beginning to emerge.

In other words, it’s reasonable to expect that the Subie will be both faster and better handling, but with a commensurately higher price. Subaru is claiming that the BRZ will have the lowest center of gravity of any production car, thanks to its low-mounted boxer engine and rear-drive layout. We’re not sure if that includes the Toyota, but it wouldn’t take much engineering to drop the motor in the BRZ a quarter inch lower than the motor in the FR-S. Power output, however, is where the paths of the two cars begin to diverge
