Subaru To Tap Toyota Expertise For 2012 Hybrid

Subaru is looking to Toyota for assistance in developing a new gasoline-electric hybrid model that will be launched by 2012, according to remarks from Fuji Heavy Industries president Ikuo Mori, at the launch of the new Subaru Legacy in Japan. Based on early reports, it isn't altogether clear which Toyota platform, or which specific version of Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive, would be employed in the new vehicle, but since meeting the tougher fuel-efficiency and emissions regulations is an issue, TheCarConnection.com points to the Prius as the most likely candidate.
