AWD... re-read his post dude.
Honestly, I prefer RWD over AWD. I know USA Subaru line is AWD, but adding 1 RWD doesn't kill the brand. It may make the brand more appeal to enthusiasts because Subaru is starting to be like Toyota, bland and boring. |

By developing this car as a team, Toyota and Subaru technically built two cars for the price of one. They need to market them as two different cars. If Toyota/Subaru differentiate their own FT-86's enough, this can be a huge sales WIN. I assume Toyota's RWD 86 will be for the driving purist, a person who would die to have a $20k Lotus. Now the Subaru will have to target the more mature audience (which they already do) to avoid stealing Toyota's thunder. Their 86 should be more comfortable, safer, and a better daily driver no matter where you live (AWD!) If what I'm hearing is correct, and the only difference between the two is going to be a few cosmetic tweaks...man, that's one stupid ass decision. |

Obviously for the extremely large front and rear solid axles necessary for all hardcore AWD cars.
