Subaru BRZ & new Impreza 5-door Hatch to debut at Geneva 2012

The BRZ and Impreza 5-door will debut at Geneva 2012 With the 2012 Geneva Motor Show just weeks away, we learn the Subaru BRZ and new Subaru Impreza 5-door hatch will get their European debuts.

The Subaru BRZ is the other half of the Toyota GT 86 partnership (the Toyota GT 86 will also get its European debut at Geneva) and, apart from some minor styling tweaks, is pretty much the same car as the GT 86.

House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., told Fisker founder Henrik Fisker that he will be remembered fondly for his design work for BMW and Aston Martin. But he compared Fisker to Malcolm Bricklin, John DeLorean and Preston Tucker -- three entrepreneurs known for their failed startup car companies.
