The WRX's aggression doesn't suit the base design very well. And the pov-pack model looks disgusting. The RS though....that actually looks allrite. Its got the right balance. But in that class, I'd still take something else for sure.

Mmm that is kinda true....

Thats true of all WRX's but the GC8 I reckon. I hated the pig nose when it came out, now I reckon they're the best looking of the bunch.

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.

Agree, except the peanut eye I instantly loved.

Bug-eye's are hot I reckon, they need a little bit of sexing up but once that's done they look the goods. End of story.

So where's everyones new appreciation come from with the new WRX? Is it the added power and darker rims with fatter tyres that has done it? About 6 months ago I put up a post saying that I would like one and not many were really that supportive of them at that stage. I often think about what car I would like next and time and time again I keep coming back to the WRX and the Forester XT Premium. The kit that you get for the money you pay is pretty hard to beat.

Whats the deal with the sun visor on the rear windscreen? And those Wings are LOLworthy. They can't actually go fast enough to use it! Other than that, i reckon they're sexy.

You're saying you don't care what your car looks like as long as its fast?
Personally I'd rather drive a slow car that doesn't make me cry when I look at it, than a Hyundai Excel with 400kw...

my car looks crap but i'm spending heaps of money on making it go faster...

i think that answers the question of if i'd rather a fast or good looking car...

slightly faster??

i don't think that doubling the power under the bonnet would count as a slight power increase...

Double nothin' is still nothin' :D. I didn't say anything about slightly more power. I said slightly FASTER. A 30hp Go kart can be fast. A 60hp VW Bettle is not.... What sort of torque does the EZ30r make, and where does it make it? Torque is what makes a fast vehicle, not Power.
