The Hakone is not a Japan only model?

Dangit, if Toyota was not dangling the Corolla Gazoo over my head, I'd be all over that.  I'm kind of in the market for a new car and the frisbee ticks a lot of buttons.  (None of them SENSIBLE buttons, but they are buttons nonetheless)

The Corolla is a warmed up FWD economy car.  The 86 is RWD driving enjoyment.  Drive one, let the tail hang out. 

I went from a Cobalt SS turbo with a tune to my FR-S.  The Cobalt was massively faster but I enjoy driving the FR-S much more.

Loved this review. Great in depth comparison with the DSG GTI as well
