Fascinating couple of quotes:

Quote:
Also, along the way, we investigated the possibility of a sedan [saloon] and a shooting brake.

....

“It’s just my personal dream that the GT86 could become a family like what BMW has done with the Mini family. I hope that happens. I also have five dogs myself and I would like to have them in the car, so a sports shooting break would be just right.
That'll answer those complaining about the lack of boot space :P

I am hoping that we can leverage this experience when we work with BMW. So just like we bought the GT86 out of our work with Subaru, I am hoping for a synergy effect with BMW that will result in a product that none of us could have imagined; something more than anyone expects. I would like that to be something like a sports car… I would even go so far as to say that for the collaboration to work we have to bring a product which exceeds all these expectations.
Anyone else thinking a Supra successor built by BMW?
