A Scooby AWD system and motor would be killer!

What would an AWD Subaru Prius "mean"? I mean you couldn't integrate Subaru's AWD system with the hybrid drive without substantial help from Toyota plus it would most like be a Toyota engine and transmission, at which point is it much of a Subaru?

At what point was the Honda Passport much of a Honda? How much of an Isuzu was the Isuzu Oasis?

Wouldn't work though, Legacy... cause the HSD would use a rear elec. motor which saves weight over a traditional 4WD system.
But then again, the LSh is using a "traditional" awd system, not the 4WD-i on the HiHy/RXh right? Maybe there is hope.

Oh the Acura SLX. What a joke that thing was. Or the Saab 9-2x. Nothing but a WRX with Saab emblems.
I would be fine with a Subaru Legacy lacking a rear drive shaft and having an electric motor in its place.

Yeah the 9-2X was a slap in the face. How can it not have Saab's trademark centre console ignition switch or Night Panel or aircraft-inspired maplights.
