Correct, it would be silly to reuse them on the production car. But, for the purposes of a display model they work just fine.

I meant as "For Display". Not in real production

hi guys, i just stumbled upon this from another site,
"BRZ RWD and NA only Says Autocar"
It's no secret that quite a few of the FRS, BRZ followers having been hoping for turbo charged versions of the cars. According to a recent article by Autocar this will not be the case. The article states in an interview with Autocar, Subaru’s product planning chief and BRZ development head Toshio Masuda revealed to them the BRZ would only come in a RWD model and would sport a single engine choice: A Naturally Aspirated 2.0 litre direct injected boxer boasting "less than 300BHP". The engine codenamed "FA" would be mated to either a six speed manual or six speed automatic.

The article goes on further to say the BRZ will be show in final production form at the Tokyo motor show later this November and will hit dealers alongside it's Toyota sibling in spring of 2012.

Yes, for display purposes only.

Though, now that I think of it, I wouldn't pit it past them to try to save some money by reusing a spindle this way. It doesn't make much sense that they would, however. I recently had to replace the driver's side front wheel hub on my mountaineer, and even though mine is RWD the spindle and hub are identical to the 4WD version. The only thing that was missing was an axle.
Does this mean that Toyota/Subaru will do that? No. But, they could.
