You may recall the history of our cars. They announced they would build it. A year later they said they had cancelled the whole project because of the economy. A year after that, the car was back on the drawing board and production followed. They change their mind a lot and do it publicly. This may not be the final word and the announcement doesn't keep Subaru form doing it's own thing with the car.
The article also mentions that Toyota officially announced that there would be turbocharged and cabriolet versions of the car, but I remember them saying they would 'never' put a turbo in it, and I thought the convertible was just a concept, not actually anything announced for production.... as you mentioned though, they've changed their mind plenty of times before... clearly there is a market for both... and I would assume the costs for the turbo would be less if it were mass produced and equipped as stock, as opposed to going through a 3rd party.

*Full Disclosure, I don't keep up on auto news as much as I'd like... I could have missed something.

Oh yeah, they look fine even on a computer. I'm both a tech nerd and a photographer, and so I just get OCD about stuff like that :P
