This work better for you?

You think he noticed that the Indy 500 Princess/Queen was Shivani Bajpai, who is most likely ethnically Indian, or more importantly - not White?

If you live in the district of Toyota, not very.

Styling wise, wouldn’t that just be a Honda Accord or Integra at that point?

You know the sad part? They have the tooling to make a 4WD iM, they just don’t feel like it would sell outside of Japan, I guess. Also, it’s only available with the 1.5L engine and CVT

The EA114 kind of looks kind of like a Subaru 360 got inflated like a balloon.

I had one of those. It was nice. That’s about all I can say about it. It wasn’t a bad car, but it just never made me excited.

I disagree. The man made it to 84. He needs something stately. Something refined. A big sedan of some sort. Also super reliable, as he probably doesn’t want to be dealing with repairs all the time. And so his fuel costs aren’t too prohibitive, a hybrid of some sort. I’m thinking a nice boring Toyota sedan.

If you’re going to do the rally car route, don’t forget to grab the drivetrain and possibly the floorpan out of the Japanese 4WD versions.

Is it still a class 10 if it has been turned 90 degrees? At what point does it become a class 7?

It’s like they took a Matrix and put Civic bodylines on it.

Because you’re not actually a joyless husk of a human being yet?

Key word is was. It was pretty glorious until the Wendy’s people bought it, and the bean counters killed the doughnuts. Then the McDonalds thing happened, and the coffee was taken. It currently runs on a mix of nostalgia, and misplaced patriotism.

Uh... You mean the S14? I.e., the last S chassis cars sold in the US? Or have I managed to slip into a bizarro dimension in which Nissan stuffed KA24s into the S15 sold them stateside?

I don’t know where you live, but in the US, nobody is going to be able to legally own a S15 for another 8 years or so. Canadian kids can import them, but they’re mostly too broke to afford them, since our dollar is currently tied to oil and that has tanked. The foreign money kids from the middle east and China who can…
