The timeline says “Production dates”. Probably looking at a late summer or early fall release date.

I don’t know if it has been mentioned, but it looks like they are both on Michelin PS4S tires.

What Tcoat said because of that and because it could be delayed because of COVID.

Imagine this curve ball, what if they used a Toyota sourced engine?! I mean Toyota owns a big stake in Subaru, so they call the shots.
Either way I think it’s looking great so far, and staying very close to the 1st gen design language. Love those wheels also.

It's definitely not TNGA.

Yes, you are right. I meant unveiling, or media announcement. Launch is ambiguous.

Yes.
I will amend my statement.
it was likely planned for a late summer release.
That plan may or may not have changed several times by now and could change more depending on events.

yes i can read lol. i was interpreting "launch date" as launch or start of production.

As far as marketing to the the public is concerned "Launch" is the total of all the events and actions from official announcement to first sales so it isn't one distinct occurrence.

In the manufacturing end "launch " is from initial sign off of concept (not the concept car it self but the very basic idea for it) up to the first of production vehicles.

There is a little overlap between the two but that one word describe two pretty different processes depending on who is using it.

Well if you are going to correct somebody else then make sure you are using the right term yourself!

launch: start or set in motion

but hey why does it matter. according to you that "leaked timeline" was just crappy photoshop spread by trolls. so why argue over fake news.

By that definition the "launch" of the 2nd gen was about 3 years ago then.


Show me once where I ever said any such thing. I will wait.

I said that it was not an official statement and could or could not be accurate and that is exactly what it is. About 99.9% of the "sources" this crap comes from are indeed fake news as has been proven time and time again.

well you have to use in the correct context. no one was talking about pre R&D. anyways, doesn't that prove my point about how its interpreted?

i was being fictitious, but thats how you act when anything not coming from a press release is shared. idk how many times we have to keep going down this same rabbit hole. i can admitted that not everything on the web is true, but to you its all fake news so idk what is left to say.

Meh.
Yes but under that definition the guys you corrected was right as well.
You like to scour the internet and post whatever waste of print is even slightly relevant and I disagree with much of it and state my opinion. Am I just supposed to remain silent because I don't believe it? Yu only want to hear from the people that believe it all?
The track record of accuracy of may sources is so abysmal that it is a wonder that anybody still believes it much less spreads it. There are many of us that don't believe all the crap it isn't just me.
