This will absolutely sell, especially if the pricetag is kept close to 20k.  Moreover, in order to compete with sales from this vehicle other car manufacturers will have to respond with similar vehicles, which would be great imo.  I really really hope Toyota/Subaru can drop a sporty coupe that doesn't rely entirely on the front wheels.  Subaru's been in desperate need of a coupe- perhaps the reason why such a desirable brand gets so little interest from me.  The STi is wonderful, same with the Legacy GT, but for the time being I want two doors, not four, despite the qualities of these fine cars. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MachinaDC5]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 9th 2008 12:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Subaru/Toyota coupe sketch surfaces]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/subaru-coupe-sketch-surfaces/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/subaru-coupe-sketch-surfaces/</guid><description><![CDATA[+1.

Yeah, we got the GC8.  Two of my friends own Impreza 2.5 RSs.  Very fun little car- which is exactly what I want this new one to be.

RWD is good, but it doesn't fit Subaru.<br><br>I also hope that Toyota gets the econo-model, and that Subaru sees fit to market this coupe alongside the Impreza lineup, as a 2.5RS, WRX, and WRX STI coupe lineup.<br><br>They should ditch their ugly little impreza 4-door, let the 2.5i, 2.5GT Turbo, and Spec B turbo models handle the 4-door market, and just have impreza 5-door wagon-wannabe, and 3-door coupe that looks like the rendering here.<br><br>IF Subaru doesn't put a turbo in this thing... I'll be saving up for an STI driveline swap, after the car is out of warranty. This car BEGS for 305+ horsepower, DCCD AWD, 6-speed stick, SI-Drive, and Brembos/Bilsteins with BBS wheels. <br><br>If it weighs ~3000lbs so equipped, it will be one of the performance values of the century, and make the Genesis coupe, and the Mustang GT look like also-rans, let alone front-drivers like Eclipse that has fallen from it's Turbo AWD perch long ago.<br><br>About the only other car with that sort of power to weight ratio is looking to be the Solstice GXP Targa coupe.<br><br>"Build it, and they will come." -Field of Dreams, but applies here, too.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 9th 2008 12:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Subaru/Toyota coupe sketch surfaces]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/subaru-coupe-sketch-surfaces/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/subaru-coupe-sketch-surfaces/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm sure subaru will make an STI version.
