The Raize/Rocky/Ativa also has a Subaru-badged sibling called the Subaru Rex, but it wasn’t mentioned either.

The sign at the start of Memory Lane advertises, “This Way to Kinder, Gentler Times!” What the marketers of nostalgia never tell you is that Memory Lane has some side streets and alleys that, like a Tijuana for the mind, contain reminiscences that should have been condemned and razed, their earth salted for the safety of future generations.
