It's not a bad looking car, or a bad idea. Subaru just has to make an AWD version. They are probably afraid of the sales that it would canabalise from the STi and the WRX.

Very nice looking car. Hopefully that car has has enough horses to push that rear out. What is the power in these things?

They are saying its gonna start at 200bhp and that there is a good chance we'll see an STi model.

And it should be using the newest gen EJ20 motor too. If the car is light, like they say (sub 2800 lbs) it should be more than entertaing with the stock drivetrain, and should get great mileage to boot.

If its riding on a modified Legacy platform like the R&T article said, I don't see it being very light.

I like the look of it though. It is promising.

They are both the same car. Minor things will be the difference. I just know that no Scion will ever be seen in my driveway.

And just for laughs...The link in the original post. In its pics you can tell its the Subaru version...It has the Pull More Gs ball on the antenna.
