Default First Spy Shots of the Subaru/Toyota RWD Coupe

Sorry if this is a repost! But this is something that I among a few others have been eagerly anticipating. This is obviously a mule Legacy, but it is definitely a coupe!

The next 'hatchi' perhaps? Hopefully they'll stick a toyota engine in there instead of an EJ series. I love for them to put in a 3S or a 2JZ. Better yet, remake the 4A into a 2.0L pumping out 250+ with a 8k+ rpm redline!

Yeah, repost. Look at the date. June. Can't wait to see what it looks like though. There are huge differences between test mule, prototype and concept. Alot of people here just don't know the difference.

So no talk about "Eeeewww..it's ugly!!" and etc.

Sorry about that fellas! I must have missed the thread in June? Ah well, still looking forward to this coupe!

Oh and I don't think this is the next gen Hachiroku. Toyota would more than likely follow the original and name it a Corrola if that were the case.

They'll probably name it Redundant, Vanilla, or Beige, hopefully this time it won't be though; hopefully they don't pull an MRS, make a kick ass car and then manage to put in their not so kick ass engine.

Well, the initial engine (NA 2L flat-four) seems a bit of a let down. But, you never know what they'll come up with. I'll be waiting in line for the turbo version to come!

Dude, seriously, they're in the works of remaking the MRS mistake by offering the lower of the engine choices. If they're going to put in an impreza boxer four, they better put in the friggin turbo one too. And by doing so not justify in their heads that it's ok to make it heavier because 0-60, 1320ft, and lap times around the ring is better than its competition.
Honda learned real quick with the EP3 SI (which I bought with a heavy discount cuz I needed a beater and nothing more) that enthusiasts don't respond to getting the lesser of the engine choices, that we're willing to pay a little (stress little) more for the better motor, thus the 06 SI with a whole lot more for about a grand more.
