Tomica WRXs as a gift

The moment he was put in charge of the new Levorg and WRX S4, Goshima decided that electronically controlled dampers were the key to the next step, and consulted ZF. At first ZF was too busy and turned him down, but he went to Germany with a lot of Tomica WRX toy cars as gifts and persuaded them, saying he wanted to build the new version of this car next. When he tried the stiffest setting on a test car and said he wanted to go that far, he was told other makers don't go that far, and he explained that the WRX is that kind of car.
