For some reason, I'm imagining Ellen DiGeneris painted green and hocking lugis all over the audience.
Then the next guest is the UK top 40 mute signer that did ASL on an audio single the people actually bought.

Yep. At least with the colour most other drivers will think it is a German or British car.
I can not get over how damned over bright the Subaru line up LED brake lights are. Riding with Ultra in Portland we followed one of the guys in a 17 BRZ. Those damned lights were painful when they came on. My wife's 17 Impreza and then her 18 Outback are very bit as bad. At least I can't see mine.

You have the fog lights too, for added blinding effect. whenever I get cut off I always flick them on and wait for a hill in front of me. |

And it even comes with the center armrest attachment. I've never seen those come standard in any twin. Glad to see a rare twin in Ontario. I've seen plenty of Raiu's on autotrader and in dealerships but have only ever seen one on the roads. |

The dealership told me they are only bringing 50 into the country and only 30% of those will be MT. So far only 30 have been received in Canada (at the same 70/30 mix) but the ATs are just not selling at all. The sales will improve once spring hits but I will be very surprised if I see another in the wild.

The MT model was at a different dealership :P So no you dont get my buttprint breaking in your seat :p I dunno if they wanted to get rid of it, the dealership could just be owned by the same guy so they could easily make the arrangements to get it transported. The 2 separate dealerships the HAkones were located at here are owned by the same guy. They could have just also wanted to make the sale as soon as they were able to. No one's really stocking 86's right now, Im partly guessing due to it still being the winter months so a sports car isnt exactly on anyones radar yet. I also dont like how the only colors they ever do stock here is grey, silver, black or white..... Last edited by Sasquachulator; 02-26-2020 at 05:02 PM. |

I have watched at least 6 video reviews on this car and she was by far the best, most honest and accurate (since I agree with all of her opinions). The others were sales guys fro dealerships that mostly said "don't you love this colour". or This d1ckwad that at 23 "thinks he is getting old" and is pissy because Toyota wouldn't trade him a new car for him taking picture of cars they sold when he was 17 years old. This dude is the Special Snowflake poster boy of the car review video. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWmH09zV8RY[/ame]

@3:18 Mark about Torque. Annnndddd he short shifts it. "Like my mini cooper" "Like my GTi". Hey kid, those have quick spool turbos that allow peak torque to hit quickly. This is an NA high rev engine. Learn to drive it. And no torque? Doesn't know the meaning of that definition. Wonder how'd he deal with a whomping ~100ft/lbs @ ~5k rpm. You want your power? Better make sure people think you're racing them every time you shift, even though you aren't. You just want to be where the powers at. In this car you don't need to do that though. You'd already be speeding in city traffic before 3rd gear. I didn't even finish the video. He's right about the green and bronze though. A stunning (but not new) combo. My second favorite color easily after Galaxy Blue Silica (Ultramarine). WRB is a very close 3rd. Last edited by OldSkoolToys; 03-01-2020 at 03:00 AM. |
