So I guess. I highly doubt Toyota/Subaru won't attack the Nur without all range of stuff.

Given Toyota's history guys, I wouldn't lose hope on a hatchback version though. Its possible.

Ya maybe that type of light, but he also said that:

I was just saying not to rule anything out because mine is a lift back and my 3rd brake light is in the same area as the concept on the "bottom" of the window

My car's not a hatch and it carried an extra set of 225/45/17 tires just fine. So that doesn't prove it's a hatch at all.

Dont expect large differences between models at all.

I think it will be a lot like Toyota Verso-S and Subaru Trezia, where Subaru made only smaller changes to the design inside and out.

Subaru worldwide can not sell large numbers of this car, Toyota can.

Subaru makes good cars and they are on the upswing, but due to their relatively limited sales, they are not THAT profitable... for instance they made $600 million last year on sales of 650k cars worldwide, while Toyota made >$5 billion.

As such Subaru needed major partner to share components with and Toyota needed more engineers and production capability at the time... hence they purchased minority ownership in Subaru.

I'm not saying that statement proves it as a hatch, but that is does point in that direction at the least. The info I received may have been based on this statement as well, versus being blatantly told it's a hatch. I'll check again to see where the info was derived from the next time I see him ( in a week or two ).

Based on the dimensions of the concepts, the trunk space will be tiny... especially when you take the rear seating into consideration. The Civic (which year?) has a relatively large trunk in comparison. (Sorry, can't find the pictures of the p-shop of the FT and S2k/350z overlay).

The trunk only need to be big enough to hold my autox / track supplies. Any bigger than that and it's a waste of space~

How much do those 17" Enkei rims weigh?

EDIT: Found out they weight in at around 21.5 lbs... eh not bad.. just as much as my stock Scion tC rims.
