Buzzda, thats all well and good, but when you dump it that much whats the friggen point of getting a Foz in the first place? Why not just get a lib wagon (ok the GenV lib wagon is fat as well) and dump that? Ive never understoon the point of buying a soft-roader and dumping it to the ground. :scratch_one-s_head:

Because the foz looks better than the lib wagon.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think they should've NOT tried to make or market it as a soft-roader but just made a performance orientated forester.

Customers ask for a boxy soft-roader with a storming WRX engine, and the car maker delivers.

Seems pretty on par to me.

If you wanted it lower and to look tough you'd just buy this

not a fan either i had a good look over it on fri and wasnt really impressed its a foz so i wasnt expecting much in that shape( though it does have paddle shift and nice pedals), the sti wrx was much more enjoyable to look at, to be honest the new liberty now looks pretty pathetic, on the other hand the other friendly japland manufacturers like toyota and honda have come to the party with the mugen crz and the toyota ft86g both sporting nice lines. there was a new model walkinshaw commy that looks somewhat special, the walky bonnet plastic shrine is back!! in the same colour as the vl. the maserati and the jaguar xkr special edition were the top of my wish list.
