Fastback is a shape.
Liftback, hatchback, five door, etc is how it opens.
You can have a fastback in any of the opening methods.
You can even have a fastback with a trunk.

So the new car will be a fastback hatchback liftback?

Subaru so they would call it a "five door".

Well technically the rear is the "hood".
I owned one just like that (with more rust) for a short period a few decades ago.

So did I and there was storage above the engine cover as well as access to the interior when the rear set was folded down.

You're welcome Forum

Again should still be more HP (around 280) and the Subaru version will be the only one to offer a turbo version. Toyota version will not (for now)

And again, your rumors have been the internet rumors for over a year.

Also, if they are getting the Ascent engine, how do you figure the Toyota version won't be turbocharged?

Sigh.

Then you could be the "inside source" for motoring.au to start a whole new round of fiction on. They could take that one scrap of info and build a whole new story.

Probably but it's not like they've ever needed evidence before to start clickbait articles so not sure it'd matter one way or the other.

Will have to OK posting screen pic with my contact before posting. I don't think there's anything in the picture that could link back to them but.... it does humorously have a picture of a camera with a line through it.

Just make sure you attach the most recent official render with it so we know their real source when they stick their site name over it.

Apparently it now comes with pops and flames as stock.
