Subaru's rear-wheel-drive car named
Fuji Heavy Industries (the makers of Subaru cars) has today announced that it will name its rear-wheel-drive sports car the BRZ.
The Frankfurt Motor Show will be the location for a technology concept, which will be revealed next month.
Subaru has created a website to mark the event - SUBARU | The 64th Frankfurt Motor Show
It's said that the name comes from from the letter B in Boxer , R in rear-wheel-drive, and Z from the word Zenith.
BRZ production is due to start in the spring of 2012.

they also need to use the letter x when creating online personae at least 6 times.
I will be a little disappointed if it is not a new 2 door version of the STI. I typically would need AWD in the snowy midwest.

I was reading an article about the Toyota/Scion version of the car the other day and it mentioned that the engine was "too far back in the car for AWD to be feasible" or something along those lines. Since the Toyota and the Subaru are more or less the same car, I wouldn't get your hopes up. Doesn't seem right for Subaru not to at least offer AWD though, right?
