yeah, but the Alpine might drive farther than 100 yards off the lot before the check engine light comes on

Why don’t they just bring back the RS badge and tune the engine up to BRZ levels? Simple solution without muddling the WRX badge.

Or when the TTC breaks down in its usual fashion, you get this at street nightmare,

Subaru doesn’t make any sense. They could have lightly detuned the BRZ engine to 170-80 range and give the Crosstrek a chance... or even offer two engine packages. Bring back the RS badge with an output close to 190 and focus on a torque pump.

More frightening is that the 152hp engine is MORE powerful than the first engine they offered at 148hp! I know why they are doing it, Subaru needs to lower its emissions across the board, but at the expense of downgrading their lineup. It just boggles my mind how they can offer a car with more weight and less power…

Forgive the engine??? The thing is glacial slow!! It weighs more and has less power than my 2.5i. And that thing wasn’t fast and you really had to pick and choose who you passed.

FIA has been physically testing it since 2011... though I’m still worried the current design might fail like FIA’s tests showed.

Detroit muscle... I think you mean Brampton Muscle.. sounds less exciting though...

I’m going to get his won’t crash as well as the real deal

Its called Capitalism, don’t like it, well you can move to...China? Don’t know if that is really a better bet if you’re not looking to get ripped off.

So SBIRS does nothing to detect?

The Dodge Challenger/300C/Charger sell like gangbusters here in Canada, yet we WERE NOT offered the SS... even though we do get the plane jane Impala.

Toronto - semi auto related

They have been testing and proving this works for years...

And you’re developing this theory based on what? Assuming they are 17-18" rims, you’re looking at rotors that aren’t any different in size than a Jarguar F-Type R’s, which are just plain jane steel rotors good enough for a 550hp car.

Just make this... but you know... better

Still think you overpaid on that one. At least in Canada you could have haggled her down to at least 20,000 US.

I remember some mathematician talked about luck with sniping and the better the training the less “luck” comes into play. When 0.01 degrees off axis can lead to a 10 yard miss, luck is quickly reduced by shear skill.

He walks 1 hour at average speed... AN HOUR! Jeez you could have bought him a $200 bicycle and he’d do it in 12mins. Then donated the remaining $5,300 to the more needy.
