The fr86 is not looking good either. Toyota stopped footing it's half of the bill for the turbo version, so Subaru officially killed the development...car is gonna be a wimp... Less power than even an s2000
I hadn't heard all that about the FT-86, but we'll have to wait and see if it's true.

Screwbaloo might not make much on the WRX, but it gives them market presence with males. It is the lone car that keeps their lineup from joining volvo in the "woman-only" market. VW is attempting to creep out of that by manning up the Beetle and introducing an expensive Golf R.

Turbo killoff was verified by Subaru.


They'll keep producing the wrx/Sti through 2013 at least. They have enough stock built up that they have to. If it really sells next year, they may update to follow the impreza, but as it sits...it looks like they are trying to offload parts to kill the wrx.
