1. Extend the nose of the car and put the motor where it traditionally would go in a Subaru. That would make the car ugly and ruin it's balance.
2. Design a new transmission that uses some sort of transfer case and all sorts of overly complicated stuff. That would make the car really expensive and I doubt the manufacture is going to be willing to eat that expense or we would be willing to pay 50k+ for the car.
3. Not make it AWD. Sell it as a Scion here for as cheap as possible and let the aftermarket go to town on it. Best idea by far.
As long as we can shove some 255's in the rear then AWD is almost pointless. Plus anything more than 250-300hp in a car like this and your missing the point of the car. Balance will be everything in this car.
