I am referring to the new model. All I ever said was that the chassis is based off of subaru's chassis, and it is using legacy and impreza variations. So even if it is 'new' its still subaru's child, maybe with a little nursing from the RWD dept. at toyota.

I understand what your saying, but i'm just going to have to disagree with you.
I don't believe for one second that this car is a Subaru under wolfs skin. Saying that Subaru basically developed the car on its own but got help from Toyota EU to come up with looks.
I believe this joint venture is more than equally distributed. With Toyota EU being the one who initiated the project, they are probably the point and lead designers of the chassis. Not Subaru, being new to the RWD platforms. I don't see this chassis being anywhere similar in chassis design skeleton to an impreza or a legacy even if it was cut in half.
Some of the things iv gathered...
