Old greg is right, toyota approached subaru after they came out of their most recent contract.

It would be difficult for Toyota to resurrect a dead production line.

JZ is just too much for that lil' 86 to handle. But no really, it is.

That's why Supras are big and heavy.

I don't know why I am replying to this...

Im thinking that a boxer engine would provide a lower center of gravity vs. an inline 4. Not that the vehicle has the lowest COG overall but again the boxer engine gives a lower COG than an inline format.

Often times an inline or v is more narrow and can sit lower in a car because of its shape

This pretty much, though one would wonder what a real modern "2JZ" would cost them, and Inline 6's are pretty much dead. Emissions and all that.

And HOPEFULLY THIS.

But they wouldn't have went "2JZ-GE/GTE" with this, more so "3SGTE" actually.
