Let’s try this again, without a shitty crossover pun. This thing sells because it gets people the crossover they want for cheap. WRX-ifying it nixes that, and those who could afford it would buy something nicer instead.

Right, but then couldn’t the consumer just buy any of those luxury models that you just suggested instead? At least the Audi or BMW and stretch to the Merc.

But the Crosstrek starts at ~$22k. Half of its appeal is that it’s cheap and gets people the crossover feeling they’re looking for. The difference between the WRX and the base Impreza is roughly $8k. Applying the same difference here, do you really think people will pay the $8k premium to get that horsepower? Is that…

Did not, as a matter of fact. Or at least didn’t know that they still make it. The slightly older ones I see driving around are pretty cool though.

Sorry Patrick, but this idea sounds like a flop to me. If you made a Venn diagram of people who want the turbo ponies vs. people who want the ride height and perceived practicality, the crossover (see what I did there?) would be pretty slim.

In the words of Q-Tip, you can be white and groove, but don’t crap the role. I see no problem with you cosplaying a black character if you do it right. And by do it right I mean a) don’t wear blackface, b) give credit where it’s due to the black artists who inspired you, and c) FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT WEAR…

Yes, how dare she try to be hygienic when feeding children with an immunodeficiency virus.

This is from a movie. Pretty sure that’s Katherine Heigl?? Someone help me out here, I don’t know my Hollywood actresses.

Pardon me, Mr. Tracy, but Ford did this three years ago with the Ecoboost 1 Liter, as Torch reported. Not to say we can’t appreciate VW’s contribution now, but I feel like this deserves a mention other than just a link to a patent.

It’s the cost you pay for Subaru’s reputation for safety. The car is designed to sacrifice itself to preserve the passenger compartment, and it does it well.

Honestly, this probably isn’t the best solution for charging a laptop. You’re converting to AC just to go back to DC. I’d rather have some kind of USB charger for my laptop and plug into my phone charger.

I’m not sure if he got his instagram moment, but he came up on an account I follow.

“My first game is always bad and then I get better,” I said, a little embarrassed. “It’s always like that,” she sympathized.

My guess is the original engine blew, which tends to happen. This is cooler than the typical S54/S52 swap, even if 1138HP is excessive, to say the least. So I’m assuming he didn’t ruin the car, the car ruined itself; and he made some very powerful lemonade out of that lemon.

Seems like she was able to Ford that floodwater just fine...

I feel like this doesn’t make much sense. The Wrangler has always been off-road focused (obviously), but between the length of the wheelbase and the overhang of the bed you start to lose some of that, so why not make a more dedicated pickup instead? Bigger bed, more torque to actually tow.

Yeah, couldn’t help but notice the name “Tahj” and wonder if that played a role.

This seems like the easiest and most effective solution.

Felony reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon? Don’t get me wrong, this was monumentally stupid, but wouldn’t something like reckless driving be more appropriate? Does it become reckless endangerment because there’s such a big crowd there? I don’t know; I’m not a lawyer.

And this is important to the story because?...
