Subaru has sealed its fate being partnered up with that bunch of losers at Toyo-town. Had they been under GM still, they would have infinite success under the brilliant leadership of Bob Lutz and Rick Wagoner. Now they are just trash sitting on the street waiting to picked up. The Japs are going down fast, starting with Toyota.

Hope you’re right, but I for one will not be saving a load up in anticipation.

Great. One company that builds appliances with wheels and another that can’t style worth a shit period collaborating on a sports car.

I just Hope Toyota doesn’t screw it up. I have very high hopes for this car, also in possibly buying one. Also will the Subaru variant be making it stateside too?

FHI has been looking for a sombody to take a big stake in the company since GM dumped their 20% a few years back to raise capital. When you are big and have lots of money (like Toyota right now) you invest in multiple companies and wait for one of them to give you a big return.

Hey… Subaru’s plant is building the Camry. I knew that the WRX and Camry looked eerily similar.

So much for the Scoobies being unique and different in the automotive world.
