just to cut off the deluge of posts like this- This is called a TEST MULE folks. Its most likely just running the drive train and possibly suspension testing for the vehicle. The body is cobbled together from bits of other cars just to have something on the chassis plus it has camo added. The most you could tell from looking at it is probably the size - thats about it. ALL EARLY TEST MULES look like this.

hopefully it won't look like the scion tc. those're the boringest-looking compacts

It might be the new AE86 that everyone's waiting for...

Yeah, it's obvious it has a Legacy rear end on it.

Anyways, this car should be interesting and I'm curious of how it will turn out...

I like this article:

Mostly because it uses my car as the benchmark :D but also because it looks pretty hot

Subaru can't sell a car that isn't AWD though...

playdoh43 06-05-2008 11:11 PM

sb350z 06-08-2008 06:46 PM

YaXMaNGTO 06-08-2008 07:55 PM

I'll start... a Toybaru? A Subayota?

Razz1 06-08-2008 08:01 PM

Will that be a sub directory of the Tonka Web site?

thecow135 06-20-2008 12:50 PM

knicks1984 06-20-2008 02:16 PM

it'spretty fugly, but we'll just have to see what the final design looks like. I'm loving the potential for this car though.
