Collaboration Toyota – Subaru

Collaboration Toyota – Subaru, the first thing that comes to mind is the highly anticipated rear – wheel-drive “Toyobaru” project. But while the FT-86 and a first Subie sister company in our minds, it’s not the first to market.

 Automotive News reported that Subaru is set to unveil hatchback Trezia March at the Geneva Auto Show. Five roomy – the door, which strongly reflects the Honda Fit in most measurements each, will be near spot-on match of the Toyota Verso was based, but with style Impreza grille slapped on the front clip and some sprinkled throughought Subaru badging. Both Toyota Verso (named Ractis for JDM consumption) and Subaru Trezia being sold in Japan now, and both vehicles are destined for Euro showrooms this spring.

The Toyota Prius MPV will be launched in Japan sometime in April 2011. The announcement of the domestic market introduction follows closely on the premiere of the Prius+ seven-seater in Geneva last week.

The Prius wagon will use the same 2ZR-FXE 1.8 litre block and 3JM motor as found on the third-gen ZVW30 Prius. The Prius Wagon will come either five or seven-seater versions. This model essentially 160mm longer, 90mm taller and 30mm wider than the latter.
