The japanese rumor link is in the first post.

I know ive heard some rumblings of a possible Lexus version in the past but i dont think it really made any sense nor was it an actual rumor, just some person thinking Lexus could/should make its own version or something to that effect.

But now it MIGHT have legs? WTF?
How much sense does this even make?
Why does Lexus need something in this segment...?

So Lexus...Toyota's Luxury arm, will attempt to make a Luxury sports car out of a non-luxury relatively cheap economy level sports car built by a non-luxury make in Subaru.....

This is Chevy Cavalier/Cadillac Cimarron, Toyota Prius/Lexus HS and Toyota iQ/Aston Martin Cygnet, or even Subaru Impreza/Saab 9-2X level of nonsense.
Regardless of the rumor, depending on the price this might be attractive. A few 1000 more for a premium interior, sound deadening, and a better dealership experience? might be worth it.
