The 2011 Subaru Coupe with their two.5L engine is currently certified to U.S. emissions specifications, so this second rumor does have some weight to it. Careful to avoid direct competition with the 4- and 5-door offerings on the Impreza STi, the 2011 Toyota Celica GT and GT-4 will only be offered in either 2-door coupe or 3-door hatchback versions.
