    Page 1 got us the 80 series Land Cruiser.

    Page 2 (finally) gave us the EuroSpecAudiRS6AvantTurbodiesel6MTwithabox.

    Page 3 told you how to land a mountain town 5.

    Page 4 gave you the Justy.

    Go with the Justy.

    I believe Subaru CVT issues were sorted out after the first year.
    No longer stuck.

    Was about to say something similar

    Yeah, we all need to start working on our wagon game.
