According to a report from CarAdvice, Subaru Australia will import the rear-wheel-drive BRZ starting in May, 2012 in limited numbers.
The report also says that the company has been torn between introducing a car that would excite enthusiasts but would also contradict a marketing strategy that has been built around all-wheel drive since 1997. So an official announcement will arrive next week.
As a reminder, the Subaru BRZ was revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show last month, along with the Toyota 86. Both cars are virtually identical and will be built by Subaru in Japan.
No word on the BRZ’s sticker, but Toyota 86 will cost between $35,000 and $40,000.
