That's weird. Why would they do that? Couldn't they just use the platform from the IS or the GS?

I think those are neither small nor cheap. Especially the GS.

And Toyota now has a ownership stake in Subaru, they are the ones that bought out GM.

You are on my wavelength. I think the tC looks great and would be a hell of a lot of fun if it was RWD.

Good god i wish it was anything but FWD! Its such a niiice looking car that chassy deserved a waaay better engine. I heard you can drop in a 3SGTE in the bay with minor motor mount adjusments. Could any one verfiy this?
This new lexus is a verryyy good looking car... it'll be a sight to see on the streets i'm sure. Someone said it's gonna be priced at 170,000? A little steep for me, gonna have to start skipping lunch at school again..

Makes a lot of sense now.
I forgot that they bought GM's stake in Subaru.
