All ribbing Dubs, all ribbing. My elbow tends to get sore with it here since we all do it so much.
And agreed. When I first heard about the project, I assumed Subie was contracted to build the new Supra, since Toyota can hardly build a car with working brakes or seat belts now. I am sad to see this venture landed it as a "Scion" as well, since, IMHO, every high schooler will have one the day they come out. Regardless, it isn't my cup of tea anyways. Too small and not a fan of RWD unless it has the power to boot.
And ya, an AWD unit would have made the car too heavy and defeat the purpose of building a lightweight sport coupe. Average power plus very lightweight and you can still end up with a nasty little axe murderer.
Anyways, this was a complete thread-jack. Apologies.
