    Spy Shots: Toyota/Subaru coupe caught in the wild

    AutoExpress may have provided us with a rendering of what the new RWD Subaru coupe might look like, but Winding Road's hired spies have provided the real deal. Shot outside a test center in the UK (amidst white-out conditions), the camo-clad mule is sporting some body panels pilfered from the current Legacy, but with a Toyota emblem in front, a pair of Recaro buckets inside and a shrunken trunk, there's little doubt that this prototype is more than just your standard sedan.

    There's still no confirmation about what kind of output the 2.0-liter flat-four will be producing, as estimates have ranged from 180- to 220-hp, but grunt is expected to be shoveled to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox and pricing should start a few pennies shy of $20,000.

    UPDATE: Full gallery added below courtesy of Camaro5. Thanks Tim.

    key word in your statement is "sketches". nothing looks like the sketches. there will be cost cutting features removed for production, but from the looks of it covered up it looks decent.
