Are the "if" forces conspiring with or against us? IF GM dumps their stake in subaru(done) IF Toyota picks it up (done) IF Toyota decides to drive sales via subaru into the 18-25 markets with a cool coupe since scion has consistently failed to do so IF Toyota steers the development IF the project makes entry with 50k+ units IF they can pull it off then I'd say ladies and gents, we might just have the next modern transmission opportunity for vanagons, let alone the whole powertrain which together wouldn't required CARB exemption. Lot's of big if's, but pretty fun to think about anyhow.. http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/232133/ Just the talk alone is proof anything can happen. Jim Akiba |
