Looks more like a kinetic Ford to me…

aww yes… lets see a finished concept…

..they already showed one?

Bet ti will be just as much of an unreliable, dog as the rest od the Subaru lineup.

FAIL

GM. AN American Revolution

Bet ti will be just as much of an unreliable, dog as the rest od the Subaru lineup.

nice grammar and spelling trailer trash…. lol please go back to riding lutz’ pen1s, he says he wants your anus back, your break is over…..

A4: i never saw it, didn’t realize. I have only seen Toyota’s version.

Subaru’s excellent build quality and rallying experience plus Toyota’s excellent reliability and world class engineering, combined together will destroy every single car in the car market. Especially and Specifically GM cars. I look forward to this car.
Buy Imports, An Import Revolution.

a 2wd coupe is way off subie’s market focus, so i’d pass on this if i were them…if anything, stick awd in it and keep the family tradition going, but don’t shoot for an entry level coupe…put it into wrx/sti territory as a 2 door coupe alternative to the boxy impreza…all the performance, but without the utility, and hopefully with a better looking exterior…

I find it kinda funny that Toyota is asking for Subaru’s help for making a successor to the original AE-86. On the other hand, Toyota did gain its’ credibility back with that concept shown, so props to them for that.

On the other hand, I’m not so sure if a sporty 2+2 should be something that Subaru should build, especially if the article claims that their concept is still in the drawing stage and that Subaru’s funds are running low.

It’s one of those lessons: “They could do it, but should they?”

Toyota’s design looks great, lets hope Subaru’s looks better than these sketches.

The Sketch look pretty good and I have to agree with A4 that this sketch does look like Ford. I am sure they will modify more in concept model unlike Hyundai; you can see there lineup are base from Lexus, BMW and Benz…….
I am so agree with Nickkop and Need for oil imports…….. I feels sorry for “Need more oil for GM” because nobody in here like your bias comment. I think it is best for you to stop come up with the bias comment or maybe switch to different name so nobody can recognize you……

I would think a sporty-looking AWD Subaru Coupe would sell quite well, esp if they can keep the starting price down in the $24k range or so. Didn’t the old Subaru hatchback in the 80s sell quite well? It would make a great commuter car for those of us in the snowbelt regions who do not want or need a 4-door on everything we drive, good for students to take to college etc..

If the Toyota trucks are a trend this POS like the Toyota coupe will decompose into a pile of rust by the time the warranty runs out.

Which means the engine just might outlast the car. See Toyota is improving!

What a joke. Buy a Cobalt SS if you want a real car that will last forever and never break down. Be American. buy American. This is GM Country.

TO NMOFGM,

Subaru’s have been rated as some of the highest quality automobiles on the road today. Subaru, along with other Japanese companies embraced Deming when he came to them with his ideas on total quality mangement. Deming came to them because GM laughed at him and didn’t take him serious. So, GM missed the quality management movement and if you look at any independent source (not the stuff spoon fed to you in your memo) then you will see this to be true.

As far as GM is concerned, i do hope they get back on their feet. You must realize however that as a business, as a firm, they are inferior to any other firm in the market. You see NMOFGM, a firm exists to turn resources such as land labor and capital into goods people wish to buy. This is the basis of all businesses our economic system. GM stopped being able to turn these resources inot stuff people wish to buy without ad campaigns begging people to buy their cars as some patriotic duty. SO, your rants about GM being the best company blah blah blah are in fact, false. So shut up

Please assemble in Lafayette, IN.

Needs more cowbell

PS… It looks like a Ford Probe

It seems like 90% of all posts now are NMOFGM, his clones and imitators, and the countless people who actually think it will make a difference to explain to NMOFGM and his clones the error of their ways…

Am I wrong?

SUBARU,

Build it as an AWD anyway, Price it somewhat between the Impreza WRX and the LEGACY and don’t sweat TOYOTA offering the RWD-only version for $5k-$10K less. I think many people would be looking happily for something a bit smaller and lighter than the WRX recalling the WRX coupes of decades past.

Besides you’ll need something smaller and lighter to go up against the FORD FIESTA Rally cars, right?

What we have to ask ourselves here is is the world ready for a good looking Subaru.

It’s OK, take your time… we’ve waited this long.

Why make it AWD? There are plenty of offerings from VW/Audi to satisfy the AWD idiots.

If they are short of funds, I would rather see Subaru update their Forrester with the 6-speed auto versus only offering the current 4-speed. hello? it’s 2009 already

I hate the styling, give it AWD and make it look like the 28B something Impreza Coupe. that actually looked decent, but then again, I hate all Subaru’s.

Subaru came out with a sport car a long time ago and it tanked… can’t remember the name of it off hand and can’t find it with a quick google search. However, I think just outsourcing the engines to Toyota makes the most sense.

Also considering Toyota hasn’t done **** in the sport compact car world in like a decade it makes perfect sense to ask for help from the current SCC king: WRX STI. (Sorry to the Mitsu fans, but the Evo is not for me.)

howsmy, part of subaru’s marketing is most (if not ALL) their offerings are AWD its what sets them apart. Subaru could make this work , If they make it look better than this sketch and price is at a premium only slightly over the ‘Yota version, it would be a winning car. If they do an STI version…even nicer, it could be a nice AWD alternative to the genesis coupe

Aesir,

There were two to my Knowledge, the XT and the SVX. Both were remarkable cars at the time. I think they were directly aimed at the Skyline GT-Rs of the day. They just never caught on, most people bought DETROIT Muscle Coupes in those days. But SUBARU has a much better rep and recognition today. A small, reasonably priced, sports coupe would not be a bad thing.

these sketches explain what has happened to Subaru design as of late

hmm…blakkarr, you must be in my head, you said pretty much the same thing i did…

howsmydriving is funny, it’s like he’s never heard of an sti or evo…knock knock…hello mcfly…

i might prefer this in an STI spec if they don’t make it ugly… tone it down a little bit… and lose the last gen celica’s taillights… leave that for toyota…

with the taillights and the wheels aside, it doesn’t look THAT bad so far…IMO…

does anyone see the current gen nissan altima front bumper in the first sketch?

People got different ideas on that car, so Subaru should offer both AWD and RWD. and I don’t think the car will look something like in the sketch, except 2doors and 4 wheels. Subaru should prove that their design is as good as Toyota or better. I love both ideas, but I will get Toyota for AE86’s namesake.

This car will eat up anything GM can make.

GM. A bailout Revolution!!!!!

Is NMOFGM’s account hacked?

Need more oil for GM
Need more oil for GM

yeah im confused…. it is not an imitator…all characters are exactly the same…

maybe he finally received government aid for his dementia prescriptions

Atticus!!! ur the man!!

LOL LOL LOL!!!!

I am curious to see more on this Subie. If you look at their monthly sales over the past two years, for the most part they increased every month comparted to the previous year. And this was at a time when everyone else was tanking big time. They had to be doing something right.

Maybe the “fake” NMOFGM just has a space character at the end of his name.

I say “fake” because they are both phonies.

They’ll both be built on the same line (NUMMI, anyone?) and just rebadged, so look to the Toyota model for the Subi version with minor revisions.

God I want this or the Toyota to just come out already. Can’t wait for the Tokyo Motor show to see what they’re gonna look like.

Hoping one of these cars will be replacing my RSX Type-S in the next few years…

Nope beatus, Its hacked.

Whoever did this, Your the man

I like it! I don’t like how Tokyo is always involved though…

I do agree that a 2+2 is a tough market for Subaru… BUT its about how u call it. If they call it a legacy coupe i think its actually quite an easy sell… I mean look at the genesis and genesis coupe, apart from the platform being stretched and shrunk, there’s nothing similar between the 2 (i could be wrong).
