How about this......

TOKYO — Toyota and Fuji Heavy Industries, Subaru's parent company, are reportedly planning to build a youth-market-oriented sports car together. The car would be sold as a Toyota and could have the Subaru all-wheel-drive system and horizontally opposed engine.

 

Japan's Asahi newspaper reported today that the car would have an under-2.0-liter Subaru flat-4 engine and would sell for less than $17,000. It would be expected to go on sale in 2010, the paper said. No sources were cited, and neither company confirmed the report.

 

Toyota has owned 8.7 percent of Fuji Heavy Industries since 2005, but the companies have not paired for a Japan-market product until now, Asahi noted.

 

What this means to you: Intriguing idea that would be even more intriguing if any hope stirs of seeing it in the U.S.

I read something about this a few weeks ago. It was posted up here, and was billed to be the return of the AE86 Corrola.
