No Subaru FT-86 for Australia! And currently no Subaru AWD version production plans.

Because its on 7tune it doesn't mean its sourced from anything credible (unless they source this information from subaru, etc.), which they didn't. The pictures came from Best Car, who's information I'd call minor at best.

But if there will actually be a AWD version, all the better. I'd be happy for all the scoobie junkies.

I'll state my logic one more time, based on common deduction.

A subaru executive, years before the cars release, has already stated, on an official record, that the subaru version will not come to Australia because it won't be AWD.

years before production
years before production

What this tells me is that theres little/no hope that an AWD variant will be produced, for the premiere model (and possibly a few years after), otherwise the executive wouldn't already be saying such bold statements to the public.

End of story.

i agree with you, but until the car actually comes out there will always be people who keep saying that "anything's possible! anything's possible!" it's the internet, after all.

Ohhhhhh.... I missed that important bit. All this use of the word "confimred" had me buying it as gospel.

Hmm... well, I'll hold off an eating my hat a bit longer then

We are your gospel. Until we say it, it is not so!

best car magazine is like 70% wild crazy wishful thinking and 30% true, but the 30% that they get right tends to be spot on, and revealed before any other news source. they had news of the LFA and the toyota subaru joint project before anyone else, and they got the front fascia of the production version LFA right on the money. of course, they also report that there's a 50-60% chance of a new RX-7 concept to be revealed before EVERY SINGLE tokyo motor show. so you have to try to figure out which of their info is BS and which is legit.
