New Subaru Coupe RWD: autoblog

Inside Line is reporting that the new, RWD coupe being developed by Subaru and Toyota will only be sold as a Subaru in markets outside of Japan, while the Toyota version will remain exclusive to the Land of the Rising Sun. The report goes on to say that the coupe will be based off the Subaru Impreza (despite Toyota/Subaru's own press release saying that it's an "all-new" platform) and that power will be provided by a naturally aspirated, 2.0-liter boxer engine producing 220 hp at 6,500 rpm.

Toyota and Subaru are using the Integra Type-R as the performance benchmark for the new coupe, with a 103-inch wheelbase, a 2+2 seating layout and a curb weight of 2,866 pounds. As reported before, the coupe will debut in 2011 and pricing is expected to begin just south of $20,000.

well maybe that's becasue it will be so sideways you'll think it was a 1970s Ford Escort

I wonder if they would start it off as RWD and go to AWD in time. Nice looking

[WashmyScooby]

how long before the aftermarket comes out with a turbo kit for it? :glasses9:

 

[akinaspeedstar]

i like the concept. i highly doubt the production version will look much like that. like the Hyundai genesis the concept looked bad ass. the preproduction versions i've seen.... meh it just looks like any normal car.

 

[Rightseat]

if it's any consolation, the production 08 STI wasn't far off the concept cars....

I'm sure it isn't "GC" enough for anyone here.
