Just to screw with you a little. I don't think numbers always dictate/justify the effort in validating a product for market.

They only sold 3950 S14's in Australia.

Yet we got the s15.

=D

Nah, it’s more that Europe and Japan has crazy high taxes on engine displacement over 2.0L so this opens up a bigger share of buyers. But I think they wanted to make enough of them to justify the costs so they released it for North American markets as well.

Interesting that it looks like actual (albeit lightly used) accounts are being hijacked for these posts. Did this site have a data breach?

Also laughed out loud at "Authentic Maidens"

Are there even any active mods on the site any more? I tried the "contact us" link, volunteering to help but haven't heard back.

This site is too useful to let it suffer the same fate as so many other BBSs, buried under a flood of bot spammers.
