Speculation based on speculation does not equal credibility. Subaru Australia has its entire brand recognition and philosophy (sp?) based upon its 'symmetrical' 4WD system. If the FT-86 is a shortened 4WD Imprezza platform (basically minus the length in the front that accommodates the driven front wheels assembly) then it would have to stand that if Subaru want to do a 4WD coupe, then should'nt they just drop a 2 door body on their existing 4WD platform? Or have they done that before now?
