Sounds great to me. I honestly don't care bout the 2.0 vs 2.5 motor. I wonder how much of a price hike they are talking. I am thinkin 28k 29k for highend model.

Isn't this old news and a bit predictable...at least on the Subaru side.

FWD/AWD/RWD all drive differently, just have to get used to it - understand advantages etc. But, overall, AWD is a wonder...

There has been no confirmation from Toyota or Subaru where either car will be sold. Only rumors.

^^ I'm sure it will feel fine and probably offer superior handling. Will it be as fun on dry non snowy pavement? No... probably not. It would be nice to leave the AWD for the rally champs like the WRX's and let this one be strictly RWD.
