That would be in keeping with the new financial realities of the pandemic. Many car manufacturers are cutting models completely if they're not best sellers. Honda recently discontinued the Civic Si Coupe, Civic Coupe, and Accord manual transmission. From an enthusiasts' perspective, those were their most desirable cars! But the burgeoning global recession means focusing on moneymakers, and sports cars are not among them.
We would be lucky if Toyota/Subaru have a next gen car at all. This would be exactly the kind of car that is meaningless to the financial prospects of Toyota, and could be easily cut and be less than rounding error to them. Kudos to them -
IF they actually go through with it and make it at all.
A minor update, some new body panels on the same platform, plus the marketing spin of a 'bigger, more powerful engine' would be a relatively inexpensive way of refreshing the car without spending much money. That's probably the most one can hope for these days.
