If they'd had their choice, they would've released both body styles.

I can't stand this kid. I despise him and everything he and his family represent.

Man, Adam and Rut are gonna have a field day with this one.

I don't even care if it only has half that horsepower: bring a manual transmissioned, AWD, turbocharged, be-spoilered Beetle to market and you will make me very happy.

Aww...I bet you say that to all the pretty ladies.

TL;DR in the middle serves as a warning: I expect you to at least read this far into it, but proceed further at your own risk.

I've...I've...I've been doing it wrong this entire time!

Yeah, because setting fire to a playground is so much safer than having a car parked on the corner of it.

It's sitting. That's what it's doing out in the snow. Just sitting there.

Because usability?

Wasn't by choice. Budget and deadline only allowed for one body style.

Look to your left, mate. :-)

Geez, San Diego? Why were you shopping for a WRX in the first place?

At least I have mountains and dirt roads to justify my window shopping. :-P

Or you can just wait and see if Subaru can get the budget expanded to make a 5-door. That's what I'm doing.

I've accepted the fact that I am in the vast minority with this car, but...I like the looks. Does it excite me? Not really. I also don't really want it to, visually speaking at least. Most of my favorite cars aren't particularly visually exciting- they're subtly and coldly confident, instead of using scoops and swoops…

I'm an introvert and a good liar. I drew the Q to be read by the other person, after admittedly overthinking the 'But-but-but! Who is going to be reading it!?' factor, as I'm overly conscious of how I'm seen, which is common with many introverts. A decent test, but not all-inclusive or definitive.

Aye. About 30 horsepower more.

Dammit, beat me to the twerking connection!

Lol, it's the little 2.2l 4-banger from an old Audi 80. Nothing special.
