read the article
it clearly states that there will be a 2.0 N/A RWD version, and a 2.5 T AWD

im pumped for the RWD, i was just talking yesterday about how the world needs another basic RWD coupe/sedan of that size

If it does come out, I hope they fit more than current ej25. As for competing against 350Z and BMW, I think it will be a good rival against the Z - probably not for BMW.
I would definitely consider trading in my 350z for coupe STI, but I don't see subaru as luxury sport car.

Thats toyotas/subaru. I dont' think what you guys have pictured there is anything to do with this and is just a chop of 08 sti into a 2 door. The toyota/subaru venture proto looked completely different. HINT HINT its not an sti.
