And the blood stays pure.

Ha!  Pure blood gave us the 2008 WRX.

Anyway, if the Genesis coupe is the success it ought to be, the Subota coupe would have been nice competition.

It was going to have a boxer engine and likely available AWD. It would've made a fine Subaru Alcyone.

And it would have made a great return for the Impreza coupe.  But I don't think it'd be cool to have Subaru whore itself out to Toyota like that.

The one thing that concerns me is that it's going to be built on a Subie platform. If this means having the engine sitting right on top of the front axle with an intercooler on top of it, then I'd imagine it would have a disadvantage to the GenCoupe.

Okay, I'm happy.  There will be a Subaru version.  Let's see a 22B revival.

If Toyota designs it... it's gonna look like ass.

If Subaru designs it... it's gonna look like ass.

They should contract the design out to Guigario, Bertone, or Pinninfarina.

I would normally agree, but I quite like the illustration from the original post. The Subaru grille that failed drastically on the original Tribeca gives positively pleasing character to this particular sport coupe.

Not all Subarus are ugly...just the Impreza.

The Legacy still looks great.

It's dead.

"Good, Subaru stays pure!"

It's alive.

"Yea!  Subaru will have a RWD car!"

It's from a different era.  I saw a teaser photo of the new Legacy (I know a guy who works in advertising and does Subaru ads) and from what little I saw, it looks like an SUV chopped into a sedan and then lowered.
