Strawberry Switchblade's 1985 Subaru Rex 'Advert' Single "Ecstasy"

Rose On "Ecstasy / I Can Feel" -

ROSE: They're nightmares. Ecstasy was basically an advert for something, I can't remember what it was now.

Subaru cars.

ROSE: I thought that was the one they put Since Yesterday over. But it could have been. They used Since Yesterday just as it was over a car advert. Ecstasy, they called it 'Apple'.

'Ecstasy (Apple Of My Eye)'.

ROSE: 'Apple of My Eye'? Where did that come from? It was nothing to do with me. The song was called Ecstasy, that was part of the joke of it. They don't know what I'm talking about but I know what I'm talking about; some people will know, some people won't know.

How did you end up doing that? Did you understand what it was like?

ROSE: It was a nightmare, that period. We did another stupid jingle for Shock Waves hairspray, and that was fucking atrocious as well. With Ecstasy they actually sent us the lyrics, and asked us to write the music for it. I said I'm not singing those lyrics. So I rewrote the lyrics which were just silly, but whatever. We just made a few bad mistakes at the end of our career, basically. Mostly Balfey pushed from behind, dollar signs popping up in his eyes. All that money that we didn't really see from those adverts. You get paid for doing stuff like that.

Of course, why else would you do it?

Subaru REX

Let's go to Rex.

REX 660

In 1990, the engine grew to 660cc, ushering in a new era for minicars. The Rex decided to use this new spaciousness as "high-quality spaciousness" that would energize all its occupants and make daily life more comfortable. It is fun, gentle, and makes you want to drive it every day. It is a car that is more appropriately described as "good performance" than high performance. Although it is small, the "660 Rex, a sedan-made car" offers the comfort of a full-fledged passenger car. This is the kind of shape that the future Mini should have.

We love people. That's why the 660 Rex is designed to be "perfect for everyday life."

660 REX

Amazingly smooth. 3 valve 4-cylinder "CLOVER4".

660cc CLOVER4

A representative example of the Clover 4. It has the quietness and smoothness that only a 4-cylinder can offer. The smoothness at high revolutions is something that can only be achieved with a 4-cylinder. The ease of use in the practical range has also been further improved with the 660cc engine.

Maximum output (net): 42ps/7000rpm

Max torque 5.3kg-m/4500rpm

660cc EMPI CLOVER4

EMPi (Electronic Multi-Point Fuel Injection) is used. It realizes more powerful driving that allows you to ride comfortably even on fast-moving highways. Another point not to be overlooked is its good fuel economy.

Maximum output (5MT vehicle, net): 48ps/7200rpm

ECVT vehicle: 46ps/6400rpm

Maximum torque (5MT) 5.4 kg-m/5600 rpm

ECVT vehicle 5.5kg-m/4000rpm

660cc EMPI SUPER CHARGER CLOVER4

Equipped with a supercharger that provides excellent response and mid-range torque. With EMPI and an intercooler, the power is an undeniable 64ps. It has a sports heart that allows you to enjoy driving to the fullest.

Maximum output (net): 64ps/6400rpm

Max torque 8.6kg-m/4400rpm

Subaru is the only light car with a 4-cylinder engine. The Clover 4 is a 4-cylinder engine that is even more attractive now that it is 660cc. The increase in displacement is not a simple bore increase, but an increase in stroke with an emphasis on ease of handling in the mid-range. Experience the greatness of the 4-cylinder 660cc when starting off in the city or driving at high speeds on the highway.

*660cc class as of January 1990

The smooth and powerful four-cylinder engine is best paired with the smooth and easy-to-use super automatic ECVT.

ECVT is a mechanism that automatically changes gears infinitely using a pair of variable diameter pulleys and a special steel belt. There is absolutely no unpleasant gear change shock. With the same easy operation as a normal automatic transmission, you can enjoy an incomparably comfortable ride.

There is no creep phenomenon, where the car starts moving on its own even when the driver is not in the car. Low fuel consumption. The fuel consumption is so good that you would never think it was an automatic. Excellent reliability and durability. The steel belt is guaranteed for 5 years or 100,000 km.

For more reliable operation of ECVT vehicles, the following features are provided: ●Key interlock ●Shift lock ●Reverse alarm ●ECVT select indicator.

●Smooth ride. There are absolutely no unpleasant gear shift shocks, so it's smooth from starting to top speed.

● Sharp start. Powerful driving with direct acceleration. Selecting the Ds range makes it even sportier. ● Safety is also a big plus. When waiting at a traffic light, etc.,

ECVT Electro-Continuously Variable Transmission

A high-grade mechanism that greatly increases your sense of security.

●In accordance with the new standard of an overall length of 100 mm more, not only the bumper but also the bonnet has been enlarged. The strength of the side doors has also been increased. A highly rigid body that gives a sense of trust in the way it drives. ●High-quality ride comfort, four-wheel independent suspension. ●All vehicles have front disc brakes and radial tires.

Two 4WD options that greatly increase your sense of security.

All Easy Drive ECVT vehicles are equipped with Subaru's original Twin Visco full-time 4WD system, which provides a stable driving experience. Selective 4WD is also available, allowing you to easily switch between 2WD and 4WD with the push of a button.

Subaru REX

Sedan - Made. It's quiet, spacious, safe, and just so comfortable.

A soft texture. A sense of security that wraps you up. Wide windows and a large living space. The interior of the 660 Rex is spacious and open. The spaciousness of the rear seats in the sedan in particular is something to be proud of. Note also the quality that has been carefully crafted down to the last detail. The subtle texture of the seats is so beautiful that you'll want to get up close and touch them. It's an interior that makes you feel extremely high-class.
