My friend sent me this announcement.

This is EXACTLY what the companies said they were going to do two years ago. Not sure why it is a surprise now.

^This. Don't think anyone is surprised.

BUT I am surprised to read Subaru is stating they're releasing in '22, while Toyota Bz4x is coming '25 ('22 in Asia).

Toyota already has a bunch of EVs and hybrids. It is new to Subaru so they need to get moving.

Oh, and it looks much better in the dark when you can't actually see it. On purpose Subaru?

That's the thing. You can see from the shadow of Solterra, it has Bz4x chassis.


That's why I was confused on that.

Plus Subaru already make hybrid.

No EVs though. They need to get on the bandwagon quickly.
