I'm going to raise the .

Subaru's thing in this country is AWD. I doubt they'd abandon it, especially in favor of RWD.

isn't this just the new celica that they've been talking about for a while with a subie engine?

Straightline - Subaru to provide new Celica for Toyota?

And as much as I'd like to see one, again.

Looks a bit more realistic in terms of the styling cues. But again, .

Forget positive. It's Subaru and those cars look pretty good. Ergo, they'll never build them.

Looks to me like a disguised Legacy. There is clearly the space apportioned for rear doors there.

I agree I think its much more likely to be a future WRX or Legacy then a Toyota/Subrau RWD 2 door coupe. We are more likely going to see a Celica sporting Subaru Boxer power and AWD.

It is well known that Subaru and Toyota are working together to build a rwd sport coupe. You'd have to have been holed up in a cave for the last few months if you think it won't be built. The link I attached in the original post clearly shows a chopped up Legacy mule that is being used for testing. There is not enough space for rear doors and thear are no rear door seams. The trunk lid is extremely short for a sedan. And if you look closely you can also see the coupe rear quarter glass through the disguising. It is typical in the car industry to use testing mules that look nothing like the final car.
The toyota version of the coupe is, supposedly, only available in Japan, while the Subaru version will be sold in markets outside japan. A naturaly aspirated boxer motor (180-220hp) will power both cars, which will share a common chassis and running gear but not body styles.
For the cave dwellers, the following links may help sway you:
