    Default Spied - Toyota-Subaru RWD Coupe



    Article

    Earlier today we took a look at a rather shot-in-the-dark rendering of the upcoming rear-wheel-drive coupe from Toyota and Subaru. Our friendly neighborhood spy photographers at CarPix must have been tuned in, as they’ve come back this evening with the first-ever real images of the car–at least in prototype form.

    The vehicle captured in these photographs is clearly using a Subaru’s Legacy as its base but it looks as if the front and rear clips, wheelbase, and interior have all been modified from stock. There are a pair of Recaro bucket seats that hint at a strongly sporting nature, as well as a strangely visible Toyota emblem in the rear seat area. The heavy white camouflage covering most of the car’s body may obscure much of the coachwork, but it does indicate that there is something worth hiding (re: not just more Legacy) underneath.

    We’re told that news of the coupe’s powerplant has also leaked out, with a 2.0-liter boxer four making about 220 horsepower specified. A six-speed gearbox is also said to be part of the package. Perhaps the most exciting part of the new ToyBaru however is in its alleged price, which is said to start just south of $20,000. Consider our interest piqued.

    One small leap for Subaru. One GIANT leap for Toyota. Particularly whichever division gets this project. More than likely Scion will probably get it.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    Honda/Acura has dropped its sporty side, but I hope they throw in a contender for this battle!

    It will be under Toyota. It will be the new celica in memory of the older ones.

    These masked pics make the car look goofy IMO. I'd like to see it without the crap all over it. Isn't this thing supposed to be mid-engine?

    That's a huuuuuuuuuuge *****. Where'd the whole "We want it to weigh close to two thousand pounds" idea go to? I keep hearing 2800+ now, and that's just too freaking fat.

    the reason i say this is because MOTO the owner of club4ag.com is in close ties with the development of this project.

    I have read in a reputable mag that it is going to be a celica. But I am not 100% on the celica badge though.
