This car has been in the works for a while and the Subaru community has been following it closely. I bet it's one hell of a a drive and if Subaru has the balls most of the work has already been done for them and they could beat the GTR to market with a smaller maybe even more fun and exciting package. I don't blame Subaru if they don't bite though, it's a super niche product that won't have mass appeal.

How did the word "Evo" end up in the thread title?

Too bad they used the STi interior as well.. Tupperific!

Needs more hoodscoop to be a Subaru..

Subaru sure knows how to make a really ugly fast car, don't they.

It looks like a Nissan designer and a Mitsu designer came together, drew up a car, and then pee'd on the plans. Yuck.

The front view looks like a Scion Tc.

From the article:

"And what of the future? Prodrive hopes a mainstream carmaker—not necessarily Subaru—will take on the design. Prodrive envisions a five-year production run, 30,000 sales a year, at about $70,000 each. Could this be the performance bargain of the decade?"

I just don't see selling 30K units a year at $70,000.

Besides the different exterior and more power, what makes this better than the STI? Are all the mechanicals different except that the powertrain has STI roots?

I hope they ditched the McP rally suspension.
