so, is Subaru really going to abandon their core identity - AWD - to sell a $20,000 vehicle?

bah. who am i kidding? in all likelihood, the japan-only toyota version is going to be less ugly--thanks to Subaru, Masters of the Ugly Stick. still, when it (inevitably) gets the wrx turbo, it will be the performance bargain of the decade.

The brakes look like they are pretty big, which might bode well for their performance direction. But it does not look like a coupe to me. That white car appears to be a well-camoflaged 4 door car...
