And I guarantee that Subaru will not be designing a new underbody chassis for this car (if you meant a new outer body shell, then maybe, but I doubt it).
If that ends up being the case then I wonder how they get to divide up who gets what market. And I can see how a RWD sports coupe branded as a Toyota would sell better in probably most market.
