It would make sense to hedge their bets and do something different than Toyota, but they've already announced an XV hybrid. A mild one, at that.

I think the hybrid market is growing a lot faster than the diesel market in the USA.

Teasing us?
 
This car was shown at Geneva, a European car show. The audience is Europe, not the USA. Diesels are hugely popular over there.

Exactly.

There's a small recall for this, apparently if you drop the key some cars can start on their own.
 
Affects Legacy, Outback, and XV.

Well, that just sucks. A gorgeous concept, to be sure, which means that the production version will be a major visual let down.

I have faith that it won't stray far from the concept... Sure the wheels will be toned down and the bulges may shrink a bit but I'm hoping Subie learned a lesson when they watered down the current Impreza.
 
A good sign is the BRZ, came out pretty close to the concept.

I wouldn't mind the wheels being toned down, but I don't see where the body panels need even one iota of tweaking. Slap a VIN on that sucker and call 'er done!
 
Reminder: The BRZ was a Toyota-led production, and they're pretty good and telegraphing concept to actual.
 
Of course, the real question is... What will the hatch look like?!
