I've known an AE-86 toyota/subaru hybrid was coming out for a long time, but it's getting close. There's a lot of different rumors out about it but for sure it'll be a Subaru boxer engine + toyota drivetrain. it's also confirmed it'll have direct fuel injection and of course most likely their 2.5L engine. Since the price is supposed to be "cheap" I'm gonna assume some EJ255 hybrid like the engine in my Subaru. So basically a new WRX bottom end.

It'll be interesting to see if an AWD version will be available or if it's just going to be RWD, but it's possible the Subaru version will have an AWD option and an STi trim.

One thing is for certain (and two thangs fo sho) if it's what I expect I think the Evo is going bye bye this Fall and this will be my new toy, since I get a 10-20% discount. Only time will tell.

Looks pretty good.

could be a fun ride. Is this still a concept or actually going into production?

[DoughtCom]

This is going to be a production car, it's been postponed 2 years (was supposed to be out in 09) so we'll see I guess. I haven't heard anything about it at work, so it makes me wonder if they're gonna announce another delay. I would think we would be ramping up for it soon.

Looks a little longer than a 370z or whatever it is now. I like it though! Any more pics of it?
I thought that was a ford symbol in the front at first and almost choked.

But fenders are a bit much for me, hope it comes out in RWD.

Nice, I hope for RWD, AWD isn't everything.

Looks like stock brake cooling ducts right under the headlights. That's interesting.

I'd heard it was going to be a 2.5 but NA. That leaves a future option for special editions and a happy aftermarket.
