Speaking with MotorAuthority, Dominick Infante, national manager of product communications for Subaru of America said, “We’re still designing our own products. With this new sports car that’s coming about it’ll be a Subaru chassis and engine. We think we’ll be able to maintain the Subaru-ness of our products.”
Infante indicated that though it is still too far out to talk about specifics, the Toyota-Subaru sports car is going to be a four-cylinder car, and that cars like the Hyundai Genesis Coupe would be in a larger segment.
The car will be built at a new factory setup for the purpose, and both companies will sell versions of it under their own brands. Subaru will reportedly be designing the platform, while Toyota will handle the exterior. Reports indicate the car is likely to be powered by a 2.0L boxer engine and will be available as both a coupe and three-door hatch.
