Guy. FR sports cars/ sport sedans/GTs. Toyota; 2000GT, Sport 800 (boxer rwd no less), T/RA2x-T/RA6x Celicas, 4 Generations of Supras, AE86 Corolla GT(s), Chaser Tourer V, Altezza/IS, Soarer/SC, Aristo/GS, LFmtherfkingA....
Subaru; um... hmmmm...
Yes. Makes complete sense that Subaru did everything but the styling.

Have they personally driven the car to justify their logic of comparing it to a Lotus?
Anti-Toyota article, is all.
Matador, trolling?
(PS, I don't really hate Subaru. More of a reverse demonstration of how their analogy dis-respects Toyota. But the "We did it all!" attitude pisses me off.)

So not trolling. Found the article this morning and was quite disgusted actually. These guys are behaving like spoiled fucking children, and ***if*** the journalism is accurate, they are downright lying. Even on the remote chance this were true, the version that the PROJECT's HEAD ENGINEER gave, was in no way damaging to subaru, they have no reason to be asses about it, and it befuddles me why they would chose to damage their relationship with the guys that own 17% of their company like that. ****s.
The last few weeks have been of the FML...nay... FMELL variety, so I really wasn't in the mood to say more.

Yeah. Fuck $28k. Better come with a turbo and the better side of 270hp for that price. Seriously.

FR-S/BRZ will be a little more expensive here too likely.
Epic-fail: If you live in the province of Quebec, every dollar you make over $83000 is taxed at 53%. I'm not kidding.

Wow. Fuck working in Canada. That's some serious ass rape-age.

and yet ALL the evidence leads to toyota having a heavy hand in its design/engineering. its as simple as this: they say they did all the testing, and yet this past weekend who drove the car around the Nring? Gazoo racing is related to subaru and not toyota all of a sudden?  |
