Basically what I'm saying is this is a regulatory problem, not a Toyota/Subaru problem. .

I am glad that somebody get's it!
This is all that I have maintained all along! Unfortunately those regulatory requirements are indeed Toyota/Subaru's problem. Not so much as a "want" to advertise but a MUST meet situation. They do what they can to give the public what they want and still meet the requirements they are required to if they wish to export the vehicles.


The guys that tune or mod do not have their hands tied by the regulations and do pretty much as they please. End of story and a non debatable FACT.
