        What were you expecting?

        Uninspired SUVs are what people will buy. Once they’ve sold a few million of those then you can expect something “inspiring”.

        They literally make them, sharing a platform isn’t like badge engineering. Collaborating with Toyota is why they could make their BRZ so cheap, probably the same thing applies here.

        They’re working on an in-house platform though, if you want something with more Subaru involvement.

          They don’t make them. Toyota does.

            edit: solterra is built by toyota, but they aim to make all their own stuff in 2027

              My point is we have no idea what they’ll be like.
