Don't think that's true. My wife's 01 WRX has ticked over 202K and is still going strong. It's also done a bunch of street sprints.

Even my old 99 WRX just kept going and going with over 230K on the clock and with lots of bolt ons mods. Did plenty of street sprints, motorkhanas and hill climbs and still got me to work each day.

I think More parallels with Lexus, for example the V8 Soarer.

I don’t know of any car enthusiast that think they are a RWD Camry
