If there were a Subaru version of the Toyota 86 with a Toyota engine...I'd care a lot less about the shared platform thing. I just prefer a Toyota engine. I've preferred a Toyota engine since it was announced. And I'm just extra annoyed about it right now because of the stupid recall situation.
I also get that refining existing models is cheaper than starting from scratch. From what understood the SF-R was nearly production ready. So they did plenty of work already. I don't know if it was ever substantiated, but I believe I remember reading that it was possibly going to use a modified but existing Toyota engine.
But I need to leave work, so I'm gonna stop typing now. LOL.

Nobody said the SF-R was production ready except the press. Even then they just said it looked that way.
