Okay, I like it.

a revised version of the naturally aspirated boxer 2.0-liter unit generating around 220 horsepower at 6,500 rpm, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox from the current Impreza WRX STI.
hey Subaru: I'll give you an extra $5000 for a turbo model. please

220 hp out of a NA 2.0? That is quite impressive and nice. Mine came with a turbo and only an extra 7 hp.

the s2k gets 237 out of an NA 2.2

(but it's got an 8000 rpm redline, unlike the subayota's 6500 )

yours also came with the ability to add a TBE and reflash for a healthy HP gain.

[Sabre]

Wow, it's what the STI should have been
But I really like the new STI too, so I won't complain

Subaru Impreza coupe coming in 2010

Subaru and Toyota's rear-wheel-drive lovechild is on its way, and AutoExpress has tapped Larson to render the new coupe to give us an idea of what we'll be saving up for come 2010.

As previously reported, both versions will be sporting separate sheet metal to differentiate the two coupes from one another. We'd suspect that the Toyota version will be fitted with a traditional trunk, while the Subaru version will get a hatch similar to that found on the WRX/STI. The image above takes all the right cues from the current Impreza, particularly the aggressive roofline and hunkered stance, and ratchets it up a notch with a new front bumper, swept back headlamps and bulging fender flares.

As we're already aware, both the Toyota version (which supposedly won't make it to U.S. shores) and the Subaru variant will be powered by a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter boxer, sending around 180 hp to the rear wheels. AutoExpress claims that a 300-hp version equipped with the turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four is also destined for production, along with an all-wheel-drive version further down the road. For those of us that have been dreaming of an STI-powered GC8 coupe, this could spare us the considerable headache and expense when it goes on sale in 2012.

Sabre ponders if he can make his 04 last that long....

f'ing sweet!!!!!!

[GaToR]

This or 3.7 Legacy STI?



Decisions decisions. Its going to be a good year, 2012.

[complacent]

Figures it'll be the end of the world!

[zaxrex]

There is no way the world would end until after the Olympics have done their thing in Whistler in 2012. It is just unpossible.

EL OH EL at the first comment!!!

OMG THAT SHAPE LOOKS LIKE A REGURGITATED EGGPLANT.

[zaxrex]

I think they need to go back and read what the words "coupe" and "sedan" actually mean.

[Mr Kleen]

it's a mule.

[Libra Monkee]

So it's all hatchbacks now, eh?

[Mr Kleen]

More Rendered Speculation: Toyota/Subaru FR sportscar, no turbos for the EU

[snaab]

All speculation aside, I'm eager to see Subaru make amends for the current Impreza fiasco, and I would like to declare myself as TOTALLY DOWN FOR A SUBY-COUPE.

I want back in the boxer game!!

[Libra Monkee]

Whoa! It looks a lot like the 1st gen Tiburon. but with funkier lights.

[complacent]

Wow, that's pretty cool! Kinda reminds me of the TVR used in Swordfish.

:swoon:

Spare parts are the goods! I think you can!

I would be all over that...as long as it is 6spd and has 4 doors.

I sure hope we don't get stuck w/ the ugly eggplant subaru version and toyota gets the good one.

The latest word is that the Toyota version will actually be the new Scion tC (in the U.S. at least).

Carscoop is reporting that Toyota has finally confirmed what many have long suspected: The next Scion tC will be a variant of the upcoming Subaru-Toyota rear-wheel-drive coupe project. At a press conference back in April, Toyota CEO Katsuaki Watanabe had confirmed that his company was jointly developing a pair of rear-wheel-drive sports cars with Subaru. Each brand would get its own version of the car, which would each be powered by one of Subaru's boxer engines.

It looks like that powerplant will be around 2.0L in size and put out around 200 horsepower. Based on an all-new RWD platform, the affordable coupe should show up Stateside by the end of 2010, or possibly early 2011. That new tC will probably be joined by a version of the iQ minicar in Scion dealerships as well, also according to Carscoop's Toyota insiders. A reborn, rebadged Celica and a Smart-fighter could be a compelling pair for Toyota's youth brand. As always, we'll keep you posted.
