    Subaru and Toyota Teaming Up for Next WRX

      ...still several years away...

    Due to some stock dealings recently, Toyota now holds just over 20% of Subaru's stock. As the two companies grow closer together, we can expect more platform and engineering sharing to happen.  Case in point, the next WRX.

    The next WRX is still a few years away, however, Toyota and Subaru are already collaborating together on a shared platform the WRX would use. There is also a rumor that the pair are working on something new called "Super AWD", but it doesn't go into detail as to what the technology would be.  

    There is also the possibility of an AWD compact sports coupe that would have the same performance level as the WRX STI.   The current STI is fading out in Japan where production ends in December with the EJ20 Final Edition.  The WRX STI runs with a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that makes 304 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft of torque.

    I remember when GM owned 20% of Subaru and sold about 10% to Toyota back in 2005 because they were losing more than gaining from it.

    What's Toyota bringing to the mix the new BMW Z4 platform they use for the Supra? ? They obviously want the "AWD Oracle" Subaru to build a platform for them to use.

    Toyota currently uses at least 3 other manufacturer's platforms:

    Mazda for the Yaris
    Subaru for the 86
    BMW for the Supra

    Must keep the parts departments busy.

      This was the background music for a YouTube. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=IuYsaw0qX9Y&desc_update=1&si=MkQYwojnMwVs6WkN It's in French.  It's listed as Afro-Soul. I could NOT see this as relevant on yesteryear's "Soul Train."  I'm picking up Brazilian vibes, which I definitely like.

      Very interesting, watched the first 20 min and jumped through out the rest, but interesting and clearly some viewpoints that can clearly be debated on both sides due to a lack of education imho. Those that believe health or life circumstances changed due to their god is an interesting take same as the crazy statements from some of the atheist. Some are far to much down the rabbit hole that we are still so closely linked to primates.  One thing that does stand out, there are many people on both sides that have been abused in their past lives and so they found comfort in their own way to survive.
