Joshua GodaPanelistPatrick JacksonPanelistAnd chasing parts online and all of that stuff i just think it's a you know probably a good point to sort of ask what do you guys think if i was to say what's a future classic or have you got two or three vehicles in mind that you might that you think are definite future classics either of you

I think it's something like the wing mirrors and the tail lights are about the only thing shared with an actual Yaris.
Was the most powerful three-cylinder engine in the world until Koenigsegg built one that blew it out the water.
And it was designed with input from Tommy Mackinnon, who is the GR rally boss.
