Looks like a rebadged Toyota.

Toyota and Subaru have built numerous cars together like the BRZ/FRS, Supra, and BZ4X/Solterra

It literally is. Shared platform between this and the Highlander EV

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.

“The most powerful Subaru ever”, isn’t.

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.
