That looks like a test mule in its truest form. Impreza front + ???? back = what ever the hell that thing is. imo anyway

lol i think that was the point lolol.

anyway, since this is a suby, i'm assuming its awd instead of the 'yota's rwd?

Looks like just a mule. There was a white one just like that posted a few months ago. Seems like a previous gen Legacy but in 2 door form.

EHm...i'm not so sure. Subaru does make non awd cars elsewhere so for this one i think it is just rwd.

I thought it was supposed to be RWD. Judging by the wheel placement I would say that its not awd but I could be wrong.

Autoblog (FWIW):

Word on the street is that Subaru isn't quite sold on the idea of the Toyota-designed rear-wheel drive platform, which may or may not be able to accommodate Subaru's signature all-wheel drive setup. We're not sure that theory makes much sense if the two are collaborating on concept versions of the vehicle, and it would be difficult to understand how Subaru could enter such an agreement without first knowing whether it could add its trademark drivetrain, but we've heard this word ourselves from Subie folks as well, so perhaps Toyota is throwing some of its weight around.

If you squint really hard, the back kinda resembles a Escort Cosworth.
