I know it would increase weight and I like the idea of rwd And I know that's what this car is all about I just don't see how an awd would be that much more in cost especially since they are going off of parts from existing awd subies. Just a thought....

I totally agree... but other view, if they want to use Toyota's FT86's chassis layout, they gotta modify the engine mount and other stuff to make it awd (need to put the engine forward). This itself gonna cost Subaru more. BUT if they do that, they have other parts they can use from other Subaru cars: STI 6sp tranny, Toyota/Yamaha designed new 2L H4, WRX/STI turbo kits, Brembo STI brakes, & etc. It's all there. Just the chassis part is main problem.
