Friend who lives in Japan was at Tokyo Motor Show, and was indeed impressed with the Toyota coupe (he's Audi fan) but the car was run on the stand (no access to under the bonnet was allowed, period) and definitely did not sound like a boxer - and that the designated engine was tested at the N'ring in a Impresa Sti car, which does indicate the engine was not ready.
The Subie version is also to be AWD, wider and longer than Toyota version. Small article from Japan mag dated 30 Dec
