Yeah, I know... I owned an 01 GC8 RS. (the last of the two doors...) But you missed the point.
In 2001, Subaru project management for the WRX came to the US and told us to our faces that the WRX STI would "definitely not" come to the US.
...Stay with me now...
In 2004, the WRX STI was sold in the states...
Point is, they'll say one thing and do another... and they won't say anything until it is official. It is too early to say they will or won't...
And, yes they can move the motor forward for AWD, and yes, the weight distribution will not be as good, but it will be AWD.
Look at it like this:
The Honda Ridgeline is a "truck" (and I use that term loosely) based on the Pilot platform...
The Pilot is based off of the Oddessy platform.
The Oddessy is actually based off of the NA Accord.
If Honda can base so many vehicles off of a common platform, Toyota/
Subaru can change the location of the motor.
