The whole point of Toyota/Subby callabo on this car is Toyota wanted to use a boxer engine and besides Porsche Subaru makes the best boxer engine in the world... because the engine is so compact they can move it lower and further towards the middle... Subaru has been confirmed to do a Turbo model... in exchange for the engine Toyota is sharing hybrid tech with Subaru... because of Subaru's reliance on Turbo and awd their MPG is horrible considering most of their engines are 4 bangers...

Makes sense, I was wondering what that was all about.

So this car will have a flat-4? I haven't been paying attention but is it confirmed that this will have a front engine? If by any chance it is a rear engine (or even better mid-engine, which I kind of doubt) then a flat-6 might be possible?

100% front engine, flat 4... it may be considered a front mid engine, I'm not sure... as far as flat 6 goes, Subaru's H6 is similarly power compared to a Turbo 4...

Yeah but a naturally aspirated flat 6 is better than a turboed 4, for the most part.

They probably won't be able to use the H6 for weight and size issues. Just speculation though.

It's for sure going be made for Subaru, on Toyotas side, is it going to be a Scion or Toyota?
I just don't see them doing one for each unless they make the Toyota version a much powerful version. The speculated spec seems perfect just above the TC. There isn't much room in the Scion line-up for this vehicle if they lower the HP (unless they discontinue the TC) or increase the power (with an increase in price ~$30k?).

It's not going to be sold under Toyota. It's planned to be sold as the Scion FR-S.
