Toyobaru?
Just heard about this today and it looks pretty exciting. If they really got it right, it'd be dynamite.
If they can get the stock weight near 2,800lbs with a well understood turbo 4, it has some serious potential. This is kind of what I was talking about when I said Hey Ford Build This.

The only problem is that every sketch I've seen so far has been ugly. I hope they don't botch the final product. I thought was was AWD?

You know, looking at it more, this isn't soooo bad:

I haven't been able to find out too much. Looks like it might be sold under both marques in perhaps both AWD (subarau variant) and RWD (toyota variant). 
They have a chance to do quite well here if they split the hair between "young boy racer" and at least a little grown up.

Who knows what final styling will be, but if they get close to something like this:
In car that weighs under 3,000 lbs with a powerplant good for 400s easy, you have a genuine sports car that'll bitch slap the pony cars and may even begin to rival Corvette at a fraction the cost. We'll see, production has a way of taming things down a bit.

It all looks great on paper. BUT!!! You know REAL life is something else. I hope you get what you want here. The fact it's a "foreign" car always puts me off some.

Basically I wouldn't buy the first for myself, the latter is a different story.

This is the 1st rendering I saw and I don't like it:
This one is okay though:

Agree. That first one isn't going to cut it. It's like the difference between the Volt concept (pretty cool actually) and the production (when/if) version where it lost a lot of its character.
