All the thing really needs is some more oomph to appear a little more serious. If its 2 tenths quicker than the miata the journalists would be at least temporarily unable to call it "nice but underpowered".

I don't really see it as completely out of the question. Toyota owns 20%+ stake in Subaru and if the cars are selling well enough in Eight Six guise I don't see why they wouldn't keep building them even if only for Toyota exclusively.

20% of ownership in the parent company is enough to dictate what another company does with their production line? yes, it's already tooled for the job, but it seems like a stretch..

Toyota on the other hand has enough hybrids to keep the credits covered and maintain the model. Although still clickbait and I remain as skeptical as ever this one at least agrees with what I thought was going to happen at some point before 2025. It also supports what I have said about mileage and emissions control being limiting factors in how far they will ever take these cars.

I'm pretty sure subaru actually built Camrys for Toyota until either the newest or previous gen, could be wrong though.

But... it was just a contract not Toyota forcing them to do anything. Happens all the time with many makes and models.
