Hey guys I think you agree and are caught up in the semantics of things!
I also think I caused a shit storm by posing a question in close relation to a statement. Sideways made a broad sweeping statement about the manufacturers that I took offense to and felt compelled to make a comment (in my not uncommon sarcastic manner).
Unfortunately I also included a question within that comment as I did not understand what was meant by the phrase "
made out of the existing Impreza platform" since this sounded like they were running them side by side and just swapping bodies. As far as I knew it was "based" on the platform but did not use much of the same actual parts. This question was obviously taken to be part of my response to the other comment and taken as sarcasm as well.
Then of course Dim had to make his Canuk noob comment and I gave a too brief response.
Then Sideways clarified his statement, I retracted my comment and you guys ran with the ball even though the play was done!
There is no doubt that it is "based" on the platform not "made out of" and even though nobody can agree on the wording I think we are all on the same page!
To risk sounding like a stereotypical "Canuck" , sorry for causing the confusion!
