Superior tires will only do so much if the people around you drive like idiots...

Reminded me of this:

There are some who want the WRX to be aggresive (even at the cost of ugliness), and others who want it to be more subtle and attractive.

I'm not sure that's an apples to apples comparison. There are many reasons that the GTO didn't do as well in the US as GM hoped. While subtle looks may have been one of the reasons, it's probably not high on the list. My own personal opinion is that the sleeper looks of the GTO are a kind of homage to the original,…

Anyone who compares this car to a Corolla seriously needs to have their eyes checked. It's a 6-speed manual, AWD, turbo, 26Xhp sports sedan. It's aggressive enough to be recognized as a WRX (hood scoop, quad exhaust, lip spoiler, front lip & rear diffuser, etc) , while not as polarizing as the last generation.

Hope springs eternal...

I think you may want to take a second look at the type of tests they are performing and revise your previous statement. Comparing these two crash tests and then pretending that it is meaningful in some way makes you look a bit daft.

Or rather Mitsubishi, which is a textbook example of a company that doesn't sell enough bland, reliable, mass-market cars to subsidize their fun cars. There's a reason that Subaru has wherewithal to update their fun cars, and to develop new ones like this, while Mitsubishi does not.

You just can't please some people. Here Subaru is offering a spiritual successor to the Legacy GT that people have been jonesing for, saying that the current Legacy has grown too fat in the interim, and all some people can do is complain. Subaru's are boring. Subaru's are ugly. Subaru's have no character. Etc, etc,…

Copy the title of the article, close the tab, and search for it on Google. For some reason, if you find it through a google search, you don't run into the paywall.

What year? You can turn it off on the STI, not sure about the WRX. I turned mine off in the first two weeks of ownership after causing me to stall the car 4 times in the first 3 days. That's probably more than I stalled in the combined 8 years of driving a manual before the Subie. Remind me what the point of this…

2014 Subaru Forester XT has a 2.0T with 250hp, 258lb-ft, and a CVT.

Pylon turn.......of DOOOOOOM!!!!

It does seem like the ZR1 driver isn't very......enthusiastic.

While I respect your opinion, I think we'll have to agree to disagree, because rare is the situation where I'll take an older car over it's modern equivalent, if one exists. Unless you're VW or Honda, the cars you make generally improve over time.

Other than uniqueness, are there any good reasons you'd take a $50k Supra, over a similarly priced used C6 Z06, or a brand-spanking new C7?

50 is nuts. Thats Cayman money
