It is sexist when they market a model of car towards women. The RS2 suffered form marketing that directly targeted women.
They would be dumb to market tampons to men. " Do you get frequent nose bleeds? Need a temporary plug for that oil bottle? Have a gunshot wound you need to deal with right now? Well have we got a product for you!"

It is not sexist. All sorts of cars are marketed mainly at men. Full-size pickups are marketed straight at men and men buy the vast majority of them. Minivans are marketed at women. It's marketing, not sexism.

They didn't take a normal minivan, change it all and say it is more suitable for women though. That is where the sexist part comes in.

With the rear seats down, you could cram 10 fraternity pledges in it, drive them 20 miles, have them piss on a rival college's sign and safely return home....or at least I'm told....
What fraternity?

People old enough to remember film cameras would also know that you are more selective with what pictures you can or cannot take.

Every time you take a roll of film to be developed, it was money you no longer had. Digital cameras make it easy to take larger quantities of poor quality photos, so often times you only had one or two good photos of what you had instead of 10-20 average photos of what you have now.

And I would be down the street working a deal if the green over tan comes to the US. Also agree it would be better as a BRZ, Premium with a performance pack and leather seats. Yes please.

I still have some film and a couple disposable cameras I never got developed. I have no idea what is on them, or if they are even still good.

The Green 86 has the performance pack and all the features of the Limited except the head unit. IF it came to the US there would have to be some sort of infotainment unit or it just wouldn't fly with many buyers. Also the small matter that it would have to have a rear view camera means they would need to have something there.

I do as well. There could be some cool stuff on them if they are still any good.

Not sure your white engine bay, door jambs and trunk necessarily counts as "proper"
