"you know what? let's build a rwd sports coupe"...mmm yeah. Okay. Seriously though, whatever dude. Believe what you want to, I don't really care. At the end of the day, I'm here for a car that drives like a descendant of a classic Toyota sports icon, not a diff locked Impreza, so take that however you want. If it does in fact weigh 2800lbs, it better drive like a 200hp LFA. Don't know how Subaru is gonna manage that. I also don't plan to pay $28k for it either, so ya know.... enjoy.
That's not a good excuse since other great handling cars don't necessarily use boxer engines like the s2000 and the Integra Type R for example. Also are you trying to say the platform belongs to Toyota? I heard it was a revamped Impreza platform? And yes I know Subaru never built a RWD sports car like Toyota has but I believe they played the major part of this car like a 60% Subie 40% Toyota. But anyways it doesn't matter like you said as long as it's a great drivers car.
