That would be catastrophic. If you need to know why, then just search CL for 2IS MT owners and their problems....

That definitely is a photochop, has too many of the lines from an 2IS.

LoL!!! I have to agree with them. It doesn't even fall under "Kinda Ugly". Its just plain ugly. I just hope they come up with a better design or that pic was just and idea of what the designer had on the top of his mind at the time.

It won't look like a Subaru, it'll be a Toyota styled car with Subaru components.

Which is a good thing.

New Forester and new Impreza = yuck.

I actually like the new stylings except the Impreza sedan, which is too boring for me.
But I really want a Toyota styled one just to give Toyota some more sporty blood.

I love the B11S. Wasn't aware that it was RWD nor do I think these rumors are true as we've been hearing about an AWD STi powered Toyota for a while. But then I never heard that there would be a Subaru version of this Toyota either. Man, I miss the SVX.
