A RWD car from Subaru. How hard can it be?

[NWUnFitted]

That Subaru will be awesome!! but I still love my 91 loyale---- My latest Subaru build (ej2.2)

Hell yeah, old Subaru's FTW. This got me around for the last year until I finally got my E30 on the road. 4wd+snow tires meant it was absolutely unstoppable in winter.

i would rally the shit out of a justy

As I understand it they're intentionally making EJ25s etc a direct swap.

I'm very pleased with this car. I'm glad Soob is getting back into the coupe game. Admittedly, the Toyota version is pretty good looking as well, although it will probably be marketed as a Scion in the US.

I haven't seen pics of this thing, but the other modern subarus really want to make me puke. they all look like fucking toyotas (go figure). however our subaru wagon is a great car..

[Jonny Cash]

if they are pricing it at $40k and $50k, i think they really missed their marks.

why the hell would you get a $50k rwd subaru? no one cross shops a 335i and a toyaburu.

no no no.. This is intended for young crowd- low 20k entry.

There was an article in the latest C&D that said starting base price would be $28k. They designed the chassis and power train before the exterior. Their goal is to be as good or better than the Porsche Cayman at handling, which coincidently C&D named the best handling car under $100k. 0-60 is 6.0 sec. , 2800lbs, 200+hp flat 4 engine and center of gravity 1inch lower than the Cayman with the engine tucked in closer to the fire wall. It's 2+2 seating means I can fit my kids in it, which I will use on my wife as an excuse to buy one:) They also said the chassis can handle more power but had to keep it as affordable as possible (which implies to me that there will be kick ass later versions of this thing with more power.) This is going to be good.

only 6000 BRZs are coming to the US

uh...ok. maybe scion will be picking up the slack.

also Toyota/Subaru Can Save Driving

author mentions a BMW that weighs 2800lbs and had 167hp as being the last drivers car he was really enthusiastic about. 325ix, sounds about right. only one up in the 2800lb range, except the cabrios.

[nando]

uh.. a stock ix is closer to 2950lbs. the heaviest was the '88 or a 4 door auto, which is around 3000lbs. he's definitely talking about a 325is..

[Threehz]
