Damn, that;s REALLY bad ***! It's def going to make the current 2.5i a lot less appealing to the younger crowd.

Way to go Subaru!

Sweet, so Toyota gets the RWD non-turbo version and Subaru will get the AWD turbo version huh?

I think I would HAVE to have one if it was a 2.5L turbo with 6-MT.

Sounds like, the Toyota's transmission is going to be making it into the Subaru as the Subaru's will be making it into the Toyota....(Obviously front knuckles/hubs and whatnot will be swapped as well.)

about time someone pulled their head out of wherever it was, a non-AWD subaru would be a worthless POC.
