Subaru has built itself a reputation for safety on the back of its symmetrical all-wheel drive system, at least in North America, but with the development of a new rear-wheel drive sports car, the automaker�s image may be jeopardized.
This is an issue that has Subaru�s management worried, so much so that it is even considering excluding the upcoming rear-wheel drive sports car from sale in North America.
�We�re an all-wheel-drive brand,� company spokesman Michael McHale explained to Ward�s Auto. At question is whether brand loyalists would �forgive us a one-off exception,� he said.
McHale went on to reveal that the Subaru and Toyota versions will be very similar, except for unique styling at the front and rear.
