Compared to its predecessors, the new model is an engineering feat as Toyota has pulled out every stop to create the ultimate performance car

Well, anything hydrogen powered is basically a california only car, so here's hoping they do something other than that...

Between this, the Corolla GR, and the rumors of a Subaru WRC hatch, one thing is for sure, something else is still being developed between Subaru & Toyota. The question is - what the hell is it?

Is some of this intentional fake news to muddy up the waters? Surely they wouldn't actually be doing ALL of this? They're going to end up with a lot of scavenging between all of these sports models if it's the case.

I don't see what Subaru can offer here except financial support.

It is the only way for Subaru to still make sporty cars. Selling 5000 a month does not justify the making otherwise.

Development alone for a limited number of sales. Subaru is not Lotus, Alpine, Porsche. If you want to sell it at reasenable price and still gain on it it is Nice you can share costs.
Subaru is not able to Bring BEV and hydrogen applications on it's own.

The WRXs sell only 5000-ish a month when doing well. How often did the twins surpass 5000 a month? Different projects have different goals.
