MR_Loyale Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 According to the article, it is going to be rear wheel drive. Why would they do that? The last rear wheel drive car I owned was a Dodge dart. I would never own another rear wheel drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWD is actually cheaper to build then FWD, and it does have its advantages. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carfreak85 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Sure hope that Subaru version of DI makes it to market, it would suck if it became a still-born technology for Fuji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For future emissions they all will have to go to DI, so that wont be thrown away. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash321 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 From the March 2009 Motortrend page 12-13 under title "It's not just Detroit, If Toyota's losing money, what about Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Suzuki?" ............. "Subaru having lost its connection with GM, is also "dicey," a source says. The Toyota connection will help keep it viable, which means, potentially, future Subie models powered with something OTHER THAN horizonally opposed engines. The proposed joint venture sport coupe (with Toyota) is on hold however."............... There would be alot of Subie faithfully that would be very P'ed off if they started putting I 4 engines instead of the flat 4.:-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
