Toyota is to delay its rear-wheel drive coupe collaboration with Subaru until 2012, it has been reported. PH brought you the story of the
joint venture back in February
when it was originally pencilled in to arrive some time next year.
Sadly dwindling sales and the global economic crisis have claimed another victim and the compact rear-drive two-door has been delayed for at least three years, reports the Nikkei. The coupe was expected to be branded the next-generation Scion tC in the US and if it is to be delayed the company will be forced to make substantial updates before its release to keep it fresh.
No word yet on a delay for the Subaru version of the car but considering the carmaker has just been forced to pull out of WRC rest assured that it won’t be arriving any time soon.
