Ahhh, that's the loophole....personally I liked the fender mirrors.Coligny wrote:I think... It's still a Totoya and at least the new Legacy Outback comes with an integrated ice box beer cooler in the trunk...
No Toyota D4S injection, Subaru Direct injection on top of a very Subaru Boxer....and the styling is ver Subaru. I loved the old Outbacks and that cooler is pretty neat....but the new one lacks a 2.0T model and is ugly as sin. If anything, the new Outback is a victim of Toyota's uberbland styling...the Forester almost looks like a concept/aftermarket kit as is.Coligny wrote:Plus, remember, Forrester is a tall car... Between Hammer trying to squeeze in his Z3 and you trying to jump to reach the door handle, I might lose my title of insanestest gaijin car owner... Especially with the Nissan living his last week in the family these days.

Should take picture of their "oh... shit... " face the second before they have to stop... I only go offroads for pro trucks and semis... Imbeciles who didn't read the r&t law concerning the choice of the vehicle to drive according to skills and road conditions (really vaguely quoted here) gets no love...

Trying to figure out what the hell you are talking about.
Studied the web site again and again (not that I want to buy one, I already have two Hondas), but it seems it has just two side mirrors and one back mirror. Some hidden technology?

The 'plus' edition even have a slanted cargo bay fittable with a loading ramp for roll-on roll-off items or trolleys. It got electric side door and optionnal white and blue with racing stripes Gordini inspired scheme. If it was a full size car diesel and trail rated I would have bought one one the spot...

Any track which is so washed out that is needs a Pajero or a Jimny, well you should probably be walking it anyway. (I do have reservations about full time viscous coupling 4WD though, so that is a valid concern)
