Dear Subaru,

Please go back to making ugly cars. We will love them once the next model comes out.

A1 Clubsport Quattro




ugly as can be, but I think this one qualifies as a "hot hatch". 500 hp from a 2.5 twin turbo. :psyduck:
Oh and the exhaust. Heh.

I think it looks nice in a Subaru type of way. I love it.

Hot hatch indeed though. I want to hear how angry it sounds.

It's really quite sad to see Subaru make boring looking cars now. I want ugly designs like the bugeye, blobeye, and hawkeye back. Those were great. You could never get them mixed up with another car.

The previous gen Legacy was, in my opinion, one of the the best looking midsize sedans of its day.



The Legacy Spec B is great looking in a good way not in the Subaru way.

I would get rid of my bugeye for one in a heartbeat if I had the funds

This is the new 1 series with some M stuff slapped on. Can't say I'm a fan but it looks better than the model without the bumper and all.

Subaru wants to split the WRX from the Impreza, make it a 1.6L turbo flat four to conform to WRC spec AND possibly base this new car off the RWD concept... except AWD :golfclap:

Just stop making cars that look like boring crap with a giant spoiler. I don't understand the point of splitting the impreza line though.

Potential to get back into the WRC, cheaper price might mean more uptake.

It sounds like it would be more expensive from the way they're describing how it's gonna be use proprietary everything.

So is the STI going to be a part of this possible new WRX line?

If the FT-86 is going to be AWD and turbo would the only reason you'd purchase it over a WRX be that it's a coupe?

Guys I have a confession to make. I haven't driven a car regularly since high school, didn't have one in college, haven't had one in med school, and probably won't have one in residency. I'll probably buy my first car when I'm 30, 31. Am I still allowed to hang out here? :ohdear:

Pff, I'm never having kids so I can drive more cars. Deal with it, breeders :smugbert:.

Also, in addition to minivans nobody should have pickup trucks because nobody needs trucks and if you have one you hate to drive and if you need one because of where you live then obviously you should move.

In fact, I personally cut myself every time I get into one of my Porsches because if you're not willing to make sacrifices for driving you're not a real enthusiast.

I make sure to personally drink a glass of what fluids go into my Porsche

Nothing but the best for my baby cause I'm an enthusiast

I guess if you look at the Explorer as simply a Taurus wagon it makes sense, but then why does it need to pretend to be a real SUV?

People don't like wagons. They just want a car that does everything a wagon does but without the connotation of driving a wagon.

The Z4 gets a new engine. BMW has replaced their NA 3.0l straight six with a 2.0l 4cyl Turbo.



This will obviously replace the NA straight six in all their blockbuster cars (1 series, 3 series, 5 series). I don't know how I feel about the loss of buttery buttery smoothness in exchange for some extra grunt and MPG, but I will reserve judgement for after I drive one.

I can understand the draw of sound kits for laughs on hybrid or electric cars, but it does seem a little silly on a gasoline powered car. I wonder if it's just cheaper than doing something like Maserati system where you hit a "sport" button and it opens a port in the exhaust system that amplifies the engine noise.

The idea of having Tesla that makes ambient DOOM zombie noises while idling and a hell baron scream when accelerating with sound kit amuses me, as long as I could switch the kit off after the five or so minutes I imagine it would take the joke to get old.

Sounds like what you're talking about is an electronic exhaust cutout

A while back someone posted a photoshop of the juke that removed the upper lights & sank then into the grill. Combine these two & I may make a financially stupid decision.

I remember that thread. I forgot exactly why everyone was photoshoping the juke though. I don't really mind the 2 sets of headlights. It looks ugly but at least it doesn't look like an accord or camry
