Because it's a Boxer engine, it's probably already mounted very low, so if an AWD system was added, the engine would have to be raised, and then the trans and floorpan would have to be raised, along with all of the rear diff positioning, to make room for the front driveshaft and front diff underneath the engine.
And I very much doubt this.... If the Toyota version is already being designed for RWD, the engine WILL be mounted low, and the Trans, and the diff will be mounted low. It would not be cost-effective for subaru to make the necessary modifications to make it an AWD.

Never seen this Legacy before?
This that low enough?
and yes, it's AWD (but they changed it to FR mid of last yr).
Yes, I know it's GT cars, so of course it has ridiculous amount of tuning on it. But that doesn't mean they're not using some of the technology.
What make it "It would not be cost-effective for subaru to make the necessary modifications to make it an AWD."? Just say Toyota sell theirs for $22k-ish and Subaru sold theirs for $27k. $5k more to add the technology they used on Legacy B4. Is it worth it? IDK
edit: Before you guys get upset or anything. I'm just debating this topic, cuz everyone say "It's RWD only", so I'm just been the black-sleep of the group to say "It's possible to have AWD". I'm not saying they WILL have AWD. Just saying it's not impossible to make it AWD
