I'm sure its a gamble for all parties, but in the end it should drive our prices down, or at least make it more profitable for Subaru/Toyota.

All I can say is I hope that increased production numbers means decreased cost for everyone, especially with Limited pricing looking like it could be over $30k OTD. I'm seriously stretching my budget to afford a car at that price point. Presumably, if Toyota sells 7x as many units and Subie sells 6x as many units as originally projected, they can sell more for less and make equal or better profit.
