Which raises the question: Why should Subaru continue to exist if their entire lineup in 10 years time is only shared platforms? The only thing they’ll be selling on is name recognition- their interiors or features are no better and in many cases worse than Toyota. And they sure don’t show up any cheaper either.
They’re basically a dead car company with nothing to their name. My how the giants have fallen.
Brand preference. GMC and Chevy have always released the same vehicles yet still both exist and I know more than a few people who prefer one over the other.
That aside, Subaru still checks boxes that Toyota doesn’t like the AWD Outback wagon and the AWD WRX. Here in the PNW, both brands are extremely popular.
Looks like a rebadged Toyota.
It literally is. Shared platform between this and the Highlander EV
“The most powerful Subaru ever”, isn’t.

Toyota and Subaru have built numerous cars together like the BRZ/FRS, Supra, and BZ4X/Solterra
Codeveloped. Toyota is a major holder in Subaru and they share a lot of parts.
More like Toyota owns Subaru at this point. Subaru can’t build anything innovative of their own and haven’t for a decade. RIP.
