Imagine a Toyota Celica GT-Four with a gene taken from the Subaru Impreza... Yipe. To jamsbong: Toyota is only a Subaru shareholder...but what the heck: it's a wise investment.

Subaru is own by Toyota, of course they can work together. Well, Honda is always a Honda and Toyota will be Toyota. Despite the dimensions the feel of the car will be completely different. I doubt Honda will produce RWD, that market does not belong to them. I really hope this NEW Trueno will be a success. Subaru is own by Toyota, of course they can work together.
