Toyota only owns 16% of Subaru, not the whole lot. Captain nitpicky signing off

I’m 99% Sure that Fuji Heavy Industries still owns Subaru.

Hate to be that guy, but I knew these already :/. Still appreciate the effort 👍
Toyota doesn’t own Subaru. Toyota “collaborated” with Subaru to build the Toybaru 86/BRZ.
4) it’s slow.

Boxer engines , rare?? Wtf
This car need a more powerful 4cyl, the boxer engine has a lag between the power in relation to pressing the accelerater due to the engine being setup like this
2—-2 ( cylinder layout)
A 2.0 ltr flat or v4 engine would be more suitable then either turbocharged or supercharged.
It wouldn’t be more suitable considering than they wanted cornering abylity over power. The lag of power also come from the regulation for the exhaust with create some kind of “hole” on the torque curb when you dyno it stock
