Lexus is another story and even there you have to choose some high end offering to get a real quality interior.

About the Super GT race series, it can offer experience that can be transferred back to the production cars. In fact we know exactly what Subaru improved back in 2014 and it was admitted by them that it was based on the Super GT experience (two full years 2012, 2013). I am not saying that Toyota is not contributing at all, but they have much less experience using this car on actual racing. If you are a die hard Toyota fan, look closer the future of the Prius car. This is where Toyota invests their money now.


I said nothing of the sort about Subaru only doing the interior. You're ignorant of who posted what and have me mixed up with someone else (whodunit). I made fun of the fact that the drivetrain rattles like my old Subarus did which makes it clear to me that Subaru did the engine mechanical design. Chassis is clearly Subaru, too.
