Hopefully it comes here... and hopefully they don't goof on the engine.

From what I've also read is that the Subaru version will be RWD as well, and not AWD.

Coming back to this, there is actually very little to dislike.

In addition to my previous comments, I think it feels a bit too squat, too short. Looking at the stats, it is 6" shorter than the 7th gen and over 12" shorter than the 6th gen.

The shots of the back seat look nice. The front seats are a little cutting-edge but if the seat hinge could be toned down a little, they could work in a production car. Reminds me a bit of the seats in the Tesla.

I'm not overly keen about the instrument cluster with its wings. I could live with it I suppose.

The dashboard is the only thing I really dislike and I'm sure that is just for the show circuit. As previously mentioned, I'd like to see something that reminds one of the MKIV Supra cockpit - the way it seperated the driver from the passengers.
