Surely Subaru wouldn't compromise the sale of their already ugly WRX by bringing out a direct competitor? I know they make some weird choices sometimes but what sort of right-minded car company would do that?
Also I hope they match the lines on the door up a little better before they release it :D

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.


It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

After re-reading it I think it was meant to say " The sedan development will depend on coupe sales blah blah blah

Would make alot more sense.

But anyway, another crappy car is NOT what Subaru needs.

A Twin Turbo 3.6, Nissan GTR beater is what they need! :D

Hi,

That makes no sense. Long day sweetie? Milk was off for your Mini Wheats this morning? The slightly attractive but overly disturbing dark haired girl in the lunchroom at the hospital ignored you again?

S'OK. I still love you.

Cheers,
Nik

I reckon people with ugly cars shouldn't be casting stones in glass houses. tis all.

:)

As for the prototype. Let's see what it becomes.

Hi,

Haha, at least it's a wagoon? Moo moo?

For sure, I am hoping for the best and I am sending positive vibes for a cool car to hit the streets.

Cheers,
Nik

If in doubt, Nik....

Buy the OG version.

Throw some coin at it.

And it'll be cooler regardless!

Subaru is missing a market which is the heavy hitter coupe. They need to revive the SVX or something. Imagine using this platform for a beefy 3.6 H6 sports coupe? Its wasted on the usual 2.5T, are people really going to want a different shaped WRX, im very skeptical about it.

I do however see the convenience of a shared platform and the collaboration with Toyota, but theres so much more they can do with this. Increase the track and wheel base, smash in a 3.6 AWD, give it a nicely ratioed 6 Speed and STI handling bits. Give the 370Z a direct competitor, Subaru are missing sales.

Hi,

Given the huge tumble ToMoCo has just gone through, I can see why the production on this one has become a snail pace.

Cheers,
Nik
