"It looks like that powerplant will be around 2.0L in size and put out around 200 horsepower. Based on an all-new RWD platform, the affordable coupe should show up Stateside by the end of 2010, or possibly early 2011."

what about this?

if it's powerful enough, i'm sure it could work.. smart move on bringing it out as a scion
wait, will it come out as a toyota or as a tC

Dumb if they do that. Toyota desperately needs this in their portfolio under THEIR name.

Crazy to say but the most exciting product in their lineup is the Venza, which I love, but that fact is still sort of sad.

Doable.

Hell, the Ford Mustang with a V6 only has 210 hp, and is near $20k.

A RWD Scion tC can pull that off for cheaper...

I heard that the platform could be a modified Legacy platform.

I don't care what brand they bring it out under, as long as the car itself is good. I would buy whichever one it comes out under provided its a good car. I like the current tC as it is, so if they can improve on that I'm all for it.

Now let's see them stick in the Subie AWD system. That's one of the things that Subaru still does better than Toyota.

It wouldn't necesarily compete against Subaru's own Impreza because Imprezas are all 4-doors, even the WRX/STI. It would be good competition for the upcoming VW Corrado, if the Corrado gets the 4-Motion.

they should've called it toyota Celica (tC)

Ah, I really hope that dont put that stinkin 2.0L in these cars.

I'm pretty quite sure the tC's replacement will not be this RWD Toyota/Subaru project.

We really would love to have this car under the Scion brand, but there is a small issue with pricing- This car would NOT fit into Scion's entry level pricing of under $20k, and that could be an issue.

?!?! What?

The aim of this car is to be sold for cheap. Light weight, sporty, cheap..... wasn't it?

Agreed... that blatty flat-four makes me want to punch people.

Around here, if you drive a WRX and are over 25, you look like a total douche.

who cares what everyone else thinks about you.

It's a fantastic car, it's sad that people associate some sort of image to certain cars but as long as you don't drive it like an idiot you're fine.
