It is a Subaru Justy with a whopping 1.2L (1198ci) of raw unbridled horsepower! I use it as my commuter/rally car. It is true that there is not a lot of them over here. I spend a lot of time on Ebay trying to find parts to keep it going. It does help that I have a spare car (much to my wife's chagrin). I love driving it around, and I wish they would have something like available today so I could buy one. Maybe I'll wait for the hype to wind-down on the new Cooper S and buy one then. The family truckster is a Land Rover. I like it driving anywhere, and I mean everywhere. I always thought the difference between the US and Europe with regards to cars is that in Europe a car is considered a luxury, and in the US a necessity. So by extension the gas is considered a luxury item in Europe.
