2. Rear Bodywork Designers also like to pull in the bodywork aft of the rear wheel-well cutouts to show off a little tire tread葉he sports-car equivalent of a plunging neckline. But European regulations dictate that fenders must cover the entire tread width as measured from 30 degrees forward of the tire痴 top center to 50 degrees rearward. Black plastic fins like those you値l find on the Jaguar F-type allow stylists to create that provocative view while still adhering to the letter of the law. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a1...k-of-new-cars/ |

I'm still waiting to see the whole package when it's revealed on 11/18 before offering any criticism. And even at that point, I need to see it in the flesh before making a buying decision as well as knowing what technical changes have been made. A wide array of color choices also enhance or minimize certain features which can either make or break the buying decision.

I assumed they are trying to measure the change in drag resulting from bodywork modifications planned for the 2nd gen. The little flap on the wheel arch would break-up any remaining laminar boundary flow so the air can start wrapping around the back of the car.

That applies to the Subaru version, but I haven't seen anything indicating a Toyota version wouldn't be sold in Europe.

For some reason this:
Reminds me of this: Not a deal breaker though, especially if functional.

Could have been worse, I suppose. But if the car was facing the other way and after a few stone chips to the front bumper, maybe. Slush and sand. lol

It isn't fair that even though you are around 750 kilometers (give or take for your actual location) north of me you have a nice warm ocean so don't have to live with the bullshit that everybody else does!
