As far as the collaboration is concerned, even though I haven't researched to find the origins of the speculation, I feel like it does hold some weight. I'm not sure how much money the two companies were hoping to make from the twins or if these were just genuinely 'HALO' cars but Subaru has a Halo car and with Toyota being in bed with BMW they can certainly aim for a higher end Halo car.

I'd certainly love to see a second generation FRS/BRZ and would look forward to upgrading to those models if they do happen. If they do not happen then I'd fear this market segment would dissolve and we wouldn't have any more cheap and fun RWD cars.
