I speculate that Toyota and Subaru will definitely aim for different markets as it is not reasonable for them to R & D just to save cost and fight in the same category.
More likely, Toyota will want to carry the spirit of AE86 and keep the important variables that made AE86 a legend.
- Light weight
- High Revving
- Low CG
In short, for market with the idea more of "Control"
For Subaru, I think they will vary slightly, keeping some of the main attributes of the R & D, but giving their version a bigger punch on the power. I am thinking that they might come up with the turbo version and compete with another segment. Don't be surprised if they go into 300hp version.
That sounds more reasonable in business sense. Share cost for R & D, and each competing for a different market share. If not for that the partnership will not make sense at all economically.
