i believe it when i see it in person. FRS/BRZ was inspired from AE86 and this will totally change its characteristic.

If the rumor comes from Australia, don't believe it. Motoring.au is notorious for reporting rumors that are poorly informed, misconstrued, and seemingly just made up most of the time.

Ya, they just keep rehashing the same old statements. The first article is almost the same as one from way back in the spring with 2015 scratched out and 2016 scribbled in (probably in crayon on their draft)

Serious question: have you seen the front engine + suspension layout recently?

That will answer the AWD question.

I heard they are also coming out with a longbed El-Camino styled mini-pickup truck version that will have 800ft lbs of torque and will be used to tow bass boats.
