They were so close to building the perfect new age exciting, cheap, light sports coupe but, the subaru powerplant just made it way less fun than it could have been.

In Subaru’s defense I think they would have rather used a turbo boxer engine. Toyota wanted to keep the car NA, no exceptions, and they have stuck to it. I have a feeling Subaru would not object because Toyota is a much bigger company, and that seems to be Japanese culture. (I’m not Japanese but that is what it looks like to me).
I would love for the 2nd gen twins to have an updated flat 4 or even 6 cylinder engine. I like that the boxer engine allows for such a low COG and front end. The front of a 86 is crazy low, not ride height but center of gravity, I love it.
