c'mon. why the heck are you driving an s2k then?? an s2k weighs 2809lbs. that's heavy for a 2 seat roadster. that subararu is 2866lbs and is a 2+2. that is not heavy at all for a 2+2, given the fact it's not a stripped out car.

Name one "roadster" that is lighter than the S2000 under $50,000 besides a Miata and the outgoing MR2 sold in the states.

I say it will be 90% Toyota and 10% Subaru...

Sounds cool. Hopefully it'll look nothing like the picture. A little too riced out for my tastes...

Well, it looks like the Accord coupe, but if its rwd, then its better!

I wonder if this means a convertible will follow...

That front end is very "BATMAN" like.

I like it and really like the design philosophy. I'll take one in silver.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more shocked I am that Subaru would go to market with a RWD. Their whole marketing has beed AWD on everything we make for years, along with from the wheels that slip tot he wheels that grip. This one model will blow all of that...

Good point. It just seems like a car Toyota would build, not Subaru. Could spawn some pretty nice upper range models.
