Prodrive, famous for their Subaru WRC cars, put together a one-off to showcase their technological/engineering prowess.  Using lots of Suby bits, this is what they’ve come up with.

It’s not slated for production.  But it gives you a good idea of what a lighter, more focused Subaru coupe might be capable of…

Are you listening, Subaru?  Toyota?

Road and Track says that the Subaru Coupe is back on.  Is it?  Who knows, but this is what they said, 

We’ve reported on this before, but we now have stronger evidence than ever that Toyota is getting back into the affordable sports-coupe game with an all-new model priced at around $20,000–$25,000. This front-engine/rear-drive 2-door will reincarnate the spirit of the 1983–1987 Corolla Levin/Trueno (AE86), a car that’s still popular today, especially among drift enthusiasts. According to our friends at Best Car magazine, Toyota’s code name for this future sports car is 086A. That it’s so similar to AE86 is no coincidence.

Is this anything new?  No.  But it’s something.  And that’s better than nothing…right?

Spirit of the AE86?  Yes, please.
