Old greg is right, toyota approached subaru after they came out of their most recent contract.

It would be difficult for Toyota to resurrect a dead production line.

because it doesnt have the lowest cog. none of the production cars that come with the boxer do. im not even sure it has the lowest cog in its class

JZ is just too much for that lil' 86 to handle. But no really, it is.

That's why Supras are big and heavy.

I don't know why I am replying to this...

Im thinking that a boxer engine would provide a lower center of gravity vs. an inline 4. Not that the vehicle has the lowest COG overall but again the boxer engine gives a lower COG than an inline format.

Often times an inline or v is more narrow and can sit lower in a car because of its shape

Putting a JZ would have broken all three of those rules.

This pretty much, though one would wonder what a real modern "2JZ" would cost them, and Inline 6's are pretty much dead. Emissions and all that.

And HOPEFULLY THIS.

But they wouldn't have went "2JZ-GE/GTE" with this, more so "3SGTE" actually.
