Just to be clear, since I noticed you said this in other threads too, the drivetrain is more Toyota than Subaru. The transmissions, differential, and even driveshafts, and axles/bearings are Toyota sourced. Not to mention the TRAC and VSC logic come from Toyota/Lexus RWD vehicles. But obviously the engine is more Subaru than Toyota.
