i only heard about this rumor yesterday....

Toyota and Subaru are collabing on a bunch of things lately.

I know they're collabing on an EV platform, the Second gen twins, and now a hot hatch?

Perhaps I'm being dense, but isn't this just a WRX hatchback? With the symmetrical AWD and boxer engine, what would be Toyota's contribution other than funding?

So a rebadged GR Yaris is going to be this Subaru hot hatch? lol

Kind of ass backwards... Subaru, an AWD company, rebadging a one-off AWD Yaris as their own AWD hot hatch lol.

Was going to say the exact same thing, LOL.

It's probably just the new WRX everybody was expecting. If anything maybe Toyota is going to work on the fuel system like with our car.

Probably the STI with D4S and the FA24F. Probably not a Toyota version.
