Default Proposed Subaru/Toyota small coupe looks like a bit FGish to me

Now where have I seen that styling before?

Does anyone else see the similarity?

I think it should be a a pretty attractive car.

I can see alot of Aston Martin, maybe a little Nissan 350Z.

The front grille opening is very Aston Martin/G6E though.

Benz copied the AU for the CLS. Rear ends are very similar.

Body looks like a Tiburon, lower front bar looks like looks like a LV Focus, or any new ford with the trapeze design, and the headlights from a Liberty

I agree with Leadfoot81, it's got a very heavy Aston Martin influence about it.

Is it the 2010 RWD Legacy Coupe joint venture with Toyota?

Don't know about anybody else, but it reminds me of the Opel/ Vauxhall Insignia with the lower grill from a Mondeo to me. Also, why are Subarus getting so ugly?

Hasn't this program been cancelled now due to the economic crisis? I'm pretty sure it has.
