id rather have room for passengers in the back not some tires i probably wont use for a very long time.

WingsofWar · 02-16-2012, 04:41 PM

Maybe that rear parcel shelf has a forward slope to it and they wanted a better angle for the led assembly. Or they actually thought it would look cool.it does look a little DIY'ish/unfinished though ill give you that

I appreciate the real world demonstration.

I wonder if the seats are all the way or not. I doubt it.

...trying to judge the seating position from the pics.

I'd love to see a video of them getting the wheels in there. That can't be easy.

cyde01 · 02-16-2012, 05:07 PM

would be a lot easier with a hatch in the back but hey, whatevs.

Laika · 02-16-2012, 05:15 PM

sweet pictures. What are those strap looking things on the front seats? For pulling them forward/pushing them back?

A hatch would make the car heavier. That's why it is a coupe according to Toyota\Subaru...
