That said, the BRZ is a joint project with Toyota and I doubt if Toyota would approve of the inherent weaknesses of the global platform for a sports car. The proportions of the global platform are all wrong for a car as low as the BRZ. If you don't have any engineering experience, have an engineer look at the picture and then tell me how they could possibly get a RWD only low car out of that platform.

What picture do you keep refering to? Where is it written that they will all be AWD (they are NOT 4 WD)?
There have been and currently are 100s of vehicles that come in AWD, 4WD, or 2WD that use the same platform there is no design criteria that excludes any setup from a platform.
