An example of rumour accuracy.

Here's an awesome example of how accurate some of the information we are getting is:

http://www.themotorreport.com.au/500...ear-drive-only

Notice the second pic of the camouflaged test car. Here:



And from the text:

Quote:
An introduction date for the Subaru Coupe is still unknown, and so far development mules spied testing in Japan (above) have given no clues about the production car’s shape.
How many German road signs in Japan? Anybody? Or did Japan build a town called Nurburg, too?

Kinda kills the credibility...

Yep! An I know that intersection quite well :-)

The funny thing is that those taped-up testing mules are quite oftenly parked right in front of the webcam at the gate of the Ring :-)
