It will definitely be RWD, there's just rumors right now it'll be in an AWD configuration under Subaru. Looking like base will be 25k and a mid-high version will be closer to 30k

If it looks like that coming out of production, i would consider switching to subbie.

Nah, I work at an ad agency downtown called Carmichael Lynch. We do all SOA's stuff.

Ah, I interviewed at Polaris and they get a suby discount too. If that's what you meant.

Ps. I'd rock this thing if it were turbo. I am not going to a 2.5L NA motor, not enough powah.

Ahhh nice man. Yeah you get a VIP discount for working with their partners and stuff.

I will not be buying this unless it's a turbo either. I would think it's gonna be a NA if it were the 90's but it seems like Subaru loves turbo'ing everything today and it's kind of built into their platform. I'm going to guess that shot above is gonna be their STi version with the hoodscoop for the TMIC. Obviously I have no idea what I'm talking about, but here's to hoping haha.

EDIT: I should say I'm sure there'll probably be NA version (probably the 25k version) and it sounds like Toyota might only have a NA version? But if Suby has an STi it'll most def be a turbo I think, that's what I'm thinking.

I would definitely consider the STI version! Probably will be everything the Genesis Coupe 2.0T should have been plus some.

An STi coupe? I'm not a coupe guy, in general, but god knows it's better looking than anything they've produced in a while.

Been following this car for a couple of years... it could be interesting. The boxster engine sounds a lot different with same length headers.

Lots more pics here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2

Still rumored at 2700lbs. I think it's drop dead sexy, with a proper sports car profile.

2700lbs? Sign me up!

Seriously if they would have an STI version with turbo and RWD and 2700lbs...this will be my next fun car.
