I really like that new design.
I really hope all 4 wheel bearings are bolt off, and that it has McPherson all around. Supposedly it was a from the ground up redesign for auto sport ... so they better not have "trunk space boosting - rear suspension)
hopefully they move back to beefier rear stuff. , the change in 08 caused a lot of Bent and broken rear suspension parts compared to an 07 ...
stiffer chassis , and its < 3000# curb weight...
I think i can hear someone linking me to Lead Zeplin dream on , already ...

The current rear-end is better than a McStrut, geometry-wise. And the current cars all have unit-hubs. That doesn't stop the hubs from failing more often than the press-in hubs did.
Ideally, they'd go to double A-arms front and rear with the bolt-on 5x114.3 hubs (not going to happen). But there's no way that car will be under 3k lbs. That's a 3500 lb car... more if it comes with a 6MT.
This car will likely have the same rear-suspension as the BRZ or Impreza, and the same front-suspension as the Impreza.
