Yeah, 4 of them built on the joint subaru-toyota platform.

Subaru Solterra = Toyota bZ
Subaru Uncharted = Toyota C-HR
Subaru Trailseeker = Toyota bZ Woodland
Subaru Getaway = Toyota Highlander

yeah, bz7 didn't make it, I bet they could do a nice Legacy EV out of it

What were you expecting?

Uninspired SUVs are what people will buy. Once they've sold a few million of those then you can expect something "inspiring".

You seem to think I'm surprised.

[–] artyom@piefed.social -4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So no.

They literally make them, sharing a platform isn't like badge engineering. Collaborating with Toyota is why they could make their BRZ so cheap, probably the same thing applies here.

They're working on an in-house platform though, if you want something with more Subaru involvement.

They don't make them. Toyota does.

edit: solterra is built by toyota, but they aim to make all their own stuff in 2027

and CATL makes the batteries, what's your point.

[–] artyom@piefed.social -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My point is we have no idea what they'll be like.

large RC cars, like all EVs.
