    Had a Subaru 4wd with flat boxer engine, space for that spare tire, carburetor in front below the air cleaner.

    Subaru and Citröen were the only two I know of that put the spare to help with crashworthiness. And it help with lack of trunk room, too.

    let's face it, spare tyre talk is more interesting than guessing about the gen IV.:cool:

    LMAO, so by the way you're spelling tyre, are you in Canada, the United Kingdom, or Australia? Maybe New Jersey...j/k

    I'm on the fence and will wait to see it in person. I'm more interested in comfort and other improvements more than the external appearance.

    Don't drag the Canadians into this, no "tyre" for us. Bisco's a mid-Atlantic man.

    My apologies to all of the Canadiens. Tyre or Tyres is very English, like bonnet, boot and wing.

    OK guys, that's enough. I'm growing tyred of the off-topic discussions. Spare us the chatter.
    (I couldn't resist jumping in.)

    So the first thing I have to check on Gen 4 is the spare tire.

    Huh? Some say it may arrive in Dec. 2015 and an industry source shows it starting production Nov 30 2015.
    2016 model seems fine.
