all man just posted this in the other forum.

Not til Subie bring out the official ver to TAS, I'm still praying that Subie ver will be awd.
|
not really surprise, so no official concept yet, no official decision if subaru will have their own to version of the FT86
|
I actually am glad that they won't have an AWD version. Hope they will have a turbo or SC version though.
|
I'm also wondering that if the STi and G Sports versions will be essentially the same, if many will think Subie's version would be worth the estimated $38,685 vs. the $33,160 for the Toyo version based purely on cosmetics...
And the estimated 2.5 million JPY = $27,632 for the "base" model seems to have crept up considerably. Maybe a stripped "competition" model might still come in at $25K ?? |
Subaru producing a non-AWD seems kind of counter intuitive given their slogan: "Every Subaru is built for AWD from the ground up for constant control and maximum efficiency."

I'd say that's about $5k too high for each trim level. And this is the same group that claimed the ED2 design was scrapped for the Calty one so I call BS on this whole article. |
just a speculation: I was thinking subaru may wait until the release of the FT86 to make a move, if FT86 will sell good they may think of doing the 216A may even be a AWD.

i'm not sure why AWD R&D would put them over and have them throwing in the towel; seems silly to me, then again I don't engineer cars. |

If that happens, it seems the way would be paved for Subaru to develop their AWD higher priced version and have a unique and great looking coupe to add to their model line. |
I guess they might bring AWD as optional later after the RWD sell well. Anyway, Will Subaru goes with 2.5L boxer, since it is pricier than Toyota variant.
|
when did the price jump like 8k for the base models? hopefully they are gonna stay true to their original idea on pricing for around 20k base, and hopefully 25-27k g sport coupe =0
|
Oh well. Doesn't bother me.
