Id take the post below vvvv to heart. :wink:
Not speculation at all. It's pretty well known that the 86 project stalled and almost collapsed because of internal affairs. Subaru didn't even think Toyota had what it took to make this car. The project was shelved for some time until Subaru bit the bullet and made the platform for them. There was an entire article on Autoguide about it.

I don't think there's anything emotional about expecting a car that's been in development for 5 years to work properly, especially after how much it was hyped and reviewed. That's just being fair to your customers. Of course every car has issues first year. I've had a first year production car in the past, my friends do now, and none of us had to have this many components replaced internally. Sounds more like you are the one emotionally attached to the romanticized "hachi-roku" ideal.
