Commercial time: Subaru Leone super sedan

Just like the new modern Subaru BRZ is an innovation for Subaru, back in the 80s Subaru’s 4WD technique was innovative and ground breaking. Subaru’s 4WD is just like a baseball bat: you aim for it and hit the apex at the right spot.

So of course they applied the 4WD package to all model lineups including the new Leone 2. Funny to see them now going back to 2WD…

Tokusatsu: Wild Seven destroying a Crown S40 estate

Haven’t found any footage of this series on Youtube so far, but the intro of this tokusatsu surely looks promising: the Toyopet Crown S40 estate featuring in the first long shot gets blown to smithereens after only 30 seconds!

The show ran for ten whole years onward after its inital release in September 1969. Now these guys are supposed to be the good guys and they are just blowing up stuff the whole time? Oh man, you got to love the 70s for that!
