That bck body kit is really ugly. But the car itself looks better than previous version

Previous version ?

Hybrid was most powerful old generation Yaris

My mistake, totally forgot GRMN

I work at ford and the Sierra is not at the front, you should know your own car better than that
Not so great when you need to go for the handbrake either?

If you say there are no advantage to it, just watch every test on YT.
Evo seems to have problems with that on the cars with no front LSD?
Volvo 240 is symmetrical one wheel drive.

säger du det? Det är stoli underli...

Same PN left and righ for the CV inner, outer and the shaft itself..
There is a difference in 4x4 V6 length and Escort Cosworth length...not 100% but 12-17mm..
And at SOME point the length of splines on the inner drive stubb shaft was made longer and a circlip groove was cut for a C clip...
So same lengths....sorry.
I do know my own car..The spline dia and form (a 45* Pressure angle or "PA") on the front diff is exactly the same as my Saab 96 spline (1969 and later) and also same as old MkIII FWD Fiesta turbo....this led to hatching plots to machine up a case for using some of the spare guts to my V4 LSD (which itself is a new case and spline for a GKN made MkI/MkII "English" Escort diff.) and presto a nice clutch plate front diff for the 4x4>>
A Fiesta turbo VC diff was acquired in case the same idea could be applied to that..

I do know my cars...and I don't just 'service them' I build and machine parts for them, too.
And 100s of other rally cars too.

Interesting little tidbit from

Sorry with good diff set tight its a great 2 wheel drive.

My daily 245...that's a different story...

Still the Impreza has better weight distribution since the gearbox is further to the rear not both at the front as non symmetrical cars like the Evo.

"04 Impreza 58.2/41.8 versus 60.7/39.3 for the Evo 8"

3 words about weight and Subaru's handling problems:
Polar Moment of Intertia...

(look I love MY north/south mighty V4 9especially the fact that my V4 crankshaft if vastly stronger than the EJ series Subie cranks, and my rods are better too...and I have forged pistons while 99% of Subies have cheap cast....but there are solid internal engine design problems and layout of engine which become impossible for Subarus to work well against traverse engines--usually leaned rearward--, narrow 85 or 86mm bore 2,0 liter engines like the rest of the whole world (except YB but that was replaced in the Foucus with eventually Duratec..which stock bore was 87.5mm but which Ford homologated it at 85mm bore (and corrected stroke to make it 1998cc) And why they did that is established. Why ALL the WRC motors did it...

This review states:
"The motivation behind using a three-cylinder engine is once again homologation, this time for the R5 class. From 2020, R5 cars will be powered by three-cylinder engines, and now Toyota has the perfect unit handy.

I think this car is mega. Powerful, small, light, four-wheel-drive. Reminds me of homologation specials. Well done Toyota for having the guts to produce something like this!

Bet it isn't cheap!
