Toyota's been working on this for a while, but I had no idea Subaru was going to build there own version. The Toyota version appears to be more like the original, with a 120hp, 1.5l, I-4.

You had some idea back when you originally posted this thread Bobby :lol:

I like how they claim AWD is pitched to save wight, but the Subaru AWD only adds two axles and slightly hevier hub carriers over a RWD configuration. :lol: Also, it will take about 5 seconds after these are released (if they ever are) before they've got an STI motor and 6MT in them.

:lol:

What kind of idiot would own a Subaru AND a Toyota.

"Hey! You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!" ...

You have all been fooled. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/thumpyJ/zoom.jpg

Reminds me of the Celica for some reason.

Ya rly.


Oh wait, we now own a Toyota and a Subaru as well ;)

Are you channeling JC?

Hehe, I was waiting for someone to comment...hahaha., Nice friggin cruiser dude.

Dear god, I hope not.







































I don't have any friends with 20's that'll fit the STi ;)

I really hope these aren't any indication what it will end up looking like. I was thinking it would be more like an old Celica.

I believe this is what they are leaning towards...there is a big thread on it in the news and rumors section of NASIOC...

Okay, I was probably just confusing the Toybaru (Suby badge) with a new Subascion/ota (Scion/Toyota badge)?

WTF are you talking about?

I really don't know. :lol:

Well, the concept car is out:

Toyota will be showing it at the Tokyo motor show. Not sure when the Subaru version will be unveiled... but likely we won't see anything conceptwise... they'll just come up with a production version and unveil that. The Toyota version will be powered by a 2.0L direct injection N/A Subaru flat-4. I'm hoping the Subaru version will be a premium/limited turbo 4 with AWD and cost enough that all the high school fanbois can't afford them... but that kinda goes against the whole point of the car, which is light, peppy, and RWD. It's literally the new Hachi Roku.

I don't know if I am a fan of the zipper themed interior.

I hope they don't build it.

Is that a track map of Fuji Speedway on the dash?

Okay, I am a little late for this comment but yeah that would be ME as well. ;)
