Spoken like a true fanboy :-) Thats not an insult, remember it takes one to know one.

Hey now, that first gen Matrix had spunk!
This is worse actually, its a gussied up Prius :-/

Yeah, they missed the point when they brought out the CT200h.

Only special cases like this guy should be allowed to get it in automatic: http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/im-a-car-enthu…

edit: I want the wagon version, even if I think the current Impreza wagon is less than beautiful, 300 horses can make me forget the aesthetic sins...

Well sh!t, I was excited by the headline until I saw the picture. I would totally buy an electric pickup... if it looked like a Ford Ranger, or thereabouts in size. NOT if it looks like a F250 or some such "workhorse" that is usually driven by bros who never need to haul anything but their egos.
My apologies in advance…

Actually, I wanted to clarify that the performance of the regular Impreza is pretty disappointing. My wife had an 06 and later an 09 Impreza with the 2.5L and 5spd manual: oh what a joy to drive! Then they dumbed it down to 2.0L in 2013 and produced so many in CVT that the Manual transmission was not available for us…

Don't believe the hype boys and girls, here is a truly boring car:

I agree wholeheartedly.

Correction: it looks worse nowadays...

Make that artwork an RS4 Avant, but same message, and I'd buy it!

Haters gonna hate.
I like your car. If I could afford a second car for commuter duty, a used CRZ would be at the top of my list.

Interesting point. My wife and I pull in just about 100K combined, and she is financing a 2013 Focus (base trim, not even titanium) while I finance a 2013 Mazda CX5 (base trim, because Manual Transmission).
I was in line to buy an ST, but since we already had a Focus in the house, we needed a CUV... if timing had been…

yes indeed!

Ugly car, and will most likely come with a slushbox as its a lexus, but for what its worth, I am keen to see the engine specs when they come out.

Oh no, I get it, my CX5 has a "fake" dual exhaust as well since it is two mufflers off of a single downpipe. My point is that its still kind of ridiculous on a Kei car.

actually, scroll all the way to the top of the page and click on "toyota dream build challenge" and when you see the stats of the different teams votes you will know you are on the right page: just above that will be "vote today"

i'm having the same problem

Dual exhaust for a K car?

It has potential, but why do I have the sinking feeling its not coming to the US market, just like my other car of choice the Mazda6 wagon?
