Default Interesting Subaru/Toyota partnership

I read this article yesterday. Seems like a bad *** rwd car with a lot of potential. It's 200hp but it's also only 2500lbs. The 6 speed automatic version shares the same transmissions as the IS350. I think they'd have a killer if they decided to put the turbocharged Sti motor in it.
