Really? The impreza has multi-link rear suspension?
So you admit that all this stuff is in there, tacked onto the existing parts they've taken from the parts bin. So clearly it's going to add some cost. The price supposedly is in the low-mid 20's, which is cheaper than any other coupe out there except maybe the v6 base Mustang (barf). What exactly are we complaining about again?

Price estimate has been climbing in the rumour mill, and people are justifying it by saying it will be 'low-production'. That was all to demonstrate that the parts are in fact the opposite. Toyota could realistically sell this for under $20k and make money on it.
As for the Impreza suspension, yes. The rear uses a rear multilink, with lower radius rods and a compact upper wishbone.
