^ This, Toyota owns 20% of Subaru now so the chance of them going under is VERY slim, there is a massive demand for 4WD SUVs globally, Subaru offers that and they can still at least claim to have the best 'commoner' level 4WD system, something highly coveted above the snow belt.

^Being under Toyota, it is more likely you will see more of Toyota's hybrid in Subaru cars in the short term, and likely adapt solid state at some point if Toyota ever crack that, to 95% of people, this is hardly going to make much difference and most will happily plop down cash for another Subaru
Going back to the WRX, honestly it wouldn't matter if the car looks like burning cow poop on a stick. Like the 400Z, they have a mass of followers more than willing to have the latest, and would be happy to buy em.
