Toyota/Subaru Compact Sports Car May Only Have 140hp

Ugh! Say it ain't so! 140hp?!? Maybe they are trying to make this that CRZ competitor? And I hope that this car comes out looking different than a Pontiac Solstice (nice style, just it's been done already!).
News of the upcoming Toyota/Subaru 086A compact sports car might be a little disappointed with current rumors out of Japan, a decent power drop is on the cards in order to lower emissions and make the car more economical.

It’s well established now that the 086A will take center stage at Toyota’s stand at the Tokyo Motor Show (TMS) in October, with many fans of the AE86, both young and old(er) relieved that the car wasn’t axed in the wake of the global economic crisis. With new reports though it now seems that the specification of the 086A will change slightly once again to meet other criteria, that being the dreaded “eco car” movement and a switch to a much older target market than what was first considered.
