Subaru RWD coupe will be sold worldwide...
....Toyota version only in Japan!!!!
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.

Thats the best looking Scoob since 2000.
No turbo = no lag. But if you're desperate and assuming its a development of the EJ20 it won't be too challenging to swap the NA lump for a Turbo one?
Been beaten to it already...

I cant see the 4wd turbo 300bhp version making it into production. will totally undermine the point of owning an STi?
220bhp N/A rwd sounds more likely, all imho.
