John's ego and unwillingness to forego a lavish lifestyle while building a fledgling car brand was his main downfall, along with other myriad factors leading up to the arrest. Truly a story of being so close to making it, but the coke sting turned it all to dust. |

One of the aerodynamic changes has been used already in the MY19 model. So, I don't really think that the displayed car is a new model. Probably, a test of different ideas on the track.

The pixels are red but they all have the blue on the left. Do the red ones still use that blue? Even if a test car it does not mean it a Subaru doing the testing.

It is not mandatory to import a car from Japan. If they want to check a few (aero) parts, they can just install them on an European car. |

I get that but why bother testing small aero there when they have their own tracks? It still does not mean it was Subaru doing the testing is all I am saying.
