Seems 1st 86 Peeps were all Happy from what I saw taking delivery and such. Hope just a fluke deal and very limited.

Hello Jalopnik.

Let's keep in mind that this attention to detail is not a bad thing, it's the best thing! Most car companies just allow lousy panel gaps and pass it off as acceptable. Details! Details!

I've notice that the gap between the fender and A pillar is wider on the right than on the left, about 2mm.

No car is perfect

Porsche; rear main seal
BMW; vanos
GTR; bell housing / transfer box, plus misty headlights

Jalopnik clearly have no news and I've never had any bother with a Subaru. Toyota on the other hand.......

An American muscle car should not have a Chinese tranny!
