Re: News and Rumors: New SVX after all?

From what I've read that mule is a Subaru development car based on the FT-86 platform for a Subaru release. As is the case with mules you can't judge anything about styling, but with the Toyota variant debuting next week and Subaru hitting the track my guess (along with many other speculators of the internets) is that they're testing a Subaru drivetrain for said coupe. This thing is a lot closer to an actual car than the Hybrid Tourer Concept despite the fact that it's held together with duct tape.

Maybe this is similar to the SVX development going on during the release of the XT. Take the car that's going to the street in the next year, and start working on it's successor.

My only hope is that they keep proportions sane, and don't try to build another godzilla. KEEP THE BELTLINE DOWN SUBARU! (you think they heard me?)
