Another item is are they sure they wanna make two different version of the same model?? One Subaru & one Toyota??
I remember dodges stealth and the mitsu's 3000GT.. What a waste i always thought the stealth was..

 

Confirmed!!! Hells Yea. My new car is waiting to be made. Man that thing just looks so sleek. The front looks almost like an Aston Martin. But the side body lines do resemble the tC some which I like cause I love the tC.

 

All I know is it better be faster than the hyundai,it needs to come soon,it better not be an FF.Has anyone even seen the Toyota US website???There are no cars on there worth buying that doesn't scream I HAVE THREE KIDS AND A MORTGAGE,MY WIFE NEEDS A VAN AND I NEED A YARIS FOR WORK! F*** THAT!!They need a sportscar/supercar or both very soon. I am definitely buying a TC this year because it gets better gas mileage than my RX-7 and its the only coupe made by anyone that actually looks good and has all the useful standard features anyone else has for much less.

 

^^^ Personally I wouldn't buy tc cause it gets good gas mileage, I had a tc that got better gas mileage exactly one year ago.

 

^^^I lost you on this one. What ??? '07 tC gets better mileage than '08? Or, you had a stock tC then modified it? Or? I have no idea what you're saying...

 

HMMM, My 2 Favorite car companies making babies!!! My box will be paid off in 2011. Might of just found the next car.

 

Don't diss Homer's car design skillz. He helped design the original xB:

 

Funny how Toyota has to buy out Fuji Heavy Industries to make a car for them.

Sad to see how low Toyota has fallen since its glory (somewhat) in the mid 90's.

 

here is a link to the story includes diahatsu
+ a possable subaru bB copy?

watching.

 

it looks like the 2009 VW Corrado Concept but with the subaru color scheme. IMO i think its ugly and should be aborted now. tell subaru to buzz off, they destroyed the WRX! we dont need them destroying our cars.

 

I'm all about it. I'm ready to put money down, in fact what I was used to making a car payment is going in the bank for this when it comes out.

I believe the base model is supposed to be the 2.5 NA DOHC RWD. There probably won't be any bolt ons that truly add good amounts of power to the NA model. Knowing Subaru it'll already have a factory equal length header Then the upgrade path is possible all the way to the STI drive line, but there was no promise of turbo and RWD from anything I've read yet, but definitely turbo and AWD. I love AWD don't get me wrong but possibles 300 ponies form a re-tune on a modern day wrx w/exhaust is capable from 2002 to current.

As far as they ruined the WRX, well they made a car for what they were asked for by the people who use their car in WRC and similar events. Bet you didn't know the even the WRX thermistor in the up-pipe is really a recoded anti-lag with a different sensor instead of another spark plug or igniter. I myself find the newer versions of the STI amazing in someways and short in others. Years ago some muscle-car fanatic who picked up GT2 was complaining about why is there only 1 car / generation when you can get 6 different evos and STI's from 10 years, well its the same answer. To be honest its like the new Civic Si vs last years model, the older one was not only more fun to drive but faster as well. In this case they got faster and lost some of the "feel" that made it a car. The fact people still think car manufacturers make cars for people and not their own gain isn't' very realistic, but hopefully this is a change for Subaru and their involvement with Toyota. I like and have owned both products, (was in one while an SUV totalled it.)

As far as looks go, all new cars look like crap. its how it is, but Isee more Impreza and Legacy then TC or Celica. In fact I see body lines my 1g DSM had on it, (very low drag co-efficient car,) and the some lines my Integra had, and its funny when I photoshop my brothers TC, over my old Itnegra and old Laser how much they were alike as well. Unfortunately when you depend on math and science things all begin to look the same, i only hope they give it a more unique look for its own sense of individuallity rather then depending on doing that with the dash and interior.

 

bring back the gremlin FTW

 

doesnt subaru advertise that they are the only company that has awd on all models?

 

that second picture is sick holy crap remind me of lexus but without the "yippy richy part" more sport orientaed.

 

I really hope this is something nice. I've been following this story ever since Toyota bought shares of Fuji Heavy (Suburu). It's possible this can be considered the next gen Celica, but obviously with a different name. It's pretty much what we can compare it to since they discontinued it when the Scion tC came out. The styling cues of the assumed renderings look fairly similar to what a Celica is.

 

god dam...time to save up for a new scion =p

 

it sounds like if you guys get all this stuff you want, you prolly won't be able to afford this car cause it'll be a million dollars...

 

that second one totally wreaks of new Celica.. i like it!

 

Why? Toyota commonly comes out with unrelated cars and reuses old names.

That's how they can claim that the Corolla is the "best-selling vehicle ever," even though the name has been applied to nine different generations of vehicles.

It's also good business, if the name has a good reputation. Former Toyota owners are more likely to buy another Toyota if the familiar name is still available.
