June, 2008 – Carscoop, “These are very first spy shots of the Subaru and Toyota joint-developed rear-wheel-drive coupe. The test mule seen in the pictures looks like it’s sporting many body parts from the Legacy…”

Subaru is reportedly handling the drivetrain, while Toyota will do the exterior.  There’s speculation that the car would be built on a modified Impreza platform.  However, Toyota has mentioned that the engine would sit behind the front wheels, giving the car a ‘front mid-ship’ designation.  I wonder if they’ve used the Legacy’s longer platform to accomodate this.  Hence, the hacked up (and very obviously shortened) Legacy body panels.
