You never even gave it a chance. How could you have bonded in that amount of time?

For some of us, it is love at first sight. That is rare these days, given what is on the market. Others need time to adjust to the strange sensation of new things wrapped around you, and that takes time.

If you look close enough in the garage, you'll see flaws on every car in the sea. You have to really want to make it work with that car if there's ever going to be a chance of anything long term.

Gotta admit, the thought of driving a Toyota makes me cringe.

Maybe some other exotic, but not a step towards normal or boring.

Joint collab. Subie gave the flat 4 while Toyota designed it and such. Since suburbs contributed less the can only sell 1 for so many toyotas.
