<a href="http://autoblog.com/make/subaru">Subaru</a> has already announced that it <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/01/14/subaru-confirms-toyobaru-sports-coupe-for-geneva/">plans to debut</a> its version of the rear-wheel-drive <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/ft-86">FT-86</a> concept at next month's <a href="http://autoblog.com/category/geneva-motor-show">Geneva Motor Show</a>. It's safe to say that the joint venture between <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/toyota">Toyota</a> and Subaru is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of the year, and while the vehicle that takes the stage in Switzerland will still be designated as a concept, it should give us a very good glimpse as to what's in store for the production car.<br />
<br />
Our trusty spy photographers have caught Subaru's version of the sports car out testing, and while we've been quick to label the Toyobaru as a coupe, this latest set of photos suggests a hatchback configuration. There's still a small deck out back, though, so perhaps the term 'fastback' is more appropriately used in an instance like this (sort of like the <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/tc">Scion tC</a>). Either way, the bodywork looks similar to evaluation mules we've seen periodically over the last couple of years, but it isn't known for certain if the bodywork shrouded in camouflage is production.<br />
<br />
Either way, you can expect to see a 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four under the hood, producing something like 260 horsepower. Subaru will break its all-wheel-drive-only mantra with this new car, as the automaker has confirmed that power will run solely to the rear wheels.
