They do all have a genuine love of automobiles, but they can still be critical at times. (tesla roadster anyone?)

No. Jeremy bashes on how ugly Porsches cars are and not the driving experience. I feel the same way he does about the styling.

Great review, hopefully we can find out the price a little earlier?

What other reason would you choose one or the other? There looks to be less difference between the two than camaro/firebird so I think most people will make the decision based on badge. I know I'm more interested in driving the brand that is so well known for WRC compared to the brand that is known for eco-bland. The rumors that the Subaru will have just a slightly tighter suspension doesn't hurt either but I wouldn't expect that to matter much.

Ollie Marriage is a funny name.

For some buyers the Subaru/Toyota choice will come down to this: "Who has one in stock, dammit!?"

I think for most buyers, it will be whoever has it cheapest.

nice

for the UK i suspect the 5 year warranty of the Toyota vs 3 year of the Subaru may have an impact. If they were the same I would have had my deposit on the Scoobie instead.

I went ahead and put my deposit on the Subaru because Scion has said their strategy for rolling out new cars is to start on the coasts and work inward. Plus I like the more mature look of the Subaru.

Exciting stuff, love top gear and Im stoked to see this. For me the purchase will depend on money and minority on features available.

Hoping that Scion keeps the 'world' suspension tuning.
