Though, if they are considering brand engineering toyotas, its a sad sad day. I wouldnt mind seeing a diesel boxer with a hybrid synergy drive though ;)

I would imagine two forces are at work: CAFE (Subies get terrible mileage for their size and cylinders) and the new Toyota folks sitting in some of the managing seats.]]>Nov 20th 2007 9:46AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/
Not bad for a car making 230hp, with awd, and that can hold its own against a 300hp mustang gt.]]>Nov 20th 2007 10:51AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/
I had a 90 FWD Legacy L. At the time, you could get a FWD Justy, Loyale (once know as DL or GL), and an AWD XT something which looked pretty horrible.

While Boxster engines mean a whole lot to car buffs, it doesn't to Mr. and Mrs. Average Joe.

If you want Subie to bring you hot boxster AWD cars, you have to let it get its cash somewhere.]]>Nov 20th 2007 12:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/Nov 20th 2007 1:31PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/Nov 20th 2007 9:47AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/Nov 20th 2007 9:48AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/
It's just Toyota doing what it does best: kill any driving excitement.]]>Nov 20th 2007 9:49AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/
Looks like my Legacy GT will be my last new Scooby.]]>Nov 20th 2007 9:56AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/
Toyota doesn't own enough to be able to cause these changes. Hopefully, though, they can bring a diesel in the flat engines so they stay light in weight and well handling.]]>Nov 20th 2007 10:24AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/20/subaru-considering-offering-non-boxer-non-awd-models/
Subarus, just like pretty much every production car, have a good amount of understeer stock also.]]>Nov 20th 2007 2:05PM
