Everyone joins because they don't fit in, and they'd rather spend every waking moment being yelled at and berated for doing weak ass push-ups. Or maybe that was just me.
Just you. I was never once berated for anything in the first half and did the yelling and berating in the second.

"Subaru, is throwing shade on the entire Toyota 86 project altogether. A few Subaru executives are upset that Toyota’s 86 has watered down Subaru’s image of boxer engines and all-wheel drive systems."

Stopped reading once I got to this point.

I stopped reading when I saw "motoring.com.au." Anything posted on that site is complete horseshit. It's the Weekly World News for the automotive industry. Next they'll be telling us Bat Boy was sighted driving a BRZ.

Its the automotive online article version of The Onion.

Kinda reminds me of that quote from MIB when K says "Sometimes they get lucky"

It's click bait, but toyota is working w/ mazda on other projects. The next gen Yaris is going to be based on the Mazda 2.

2020 is a long ways off, so anything is possible...
