I would drive daily through all conditions. I'd plaster bumper stickers on it, fab a bicycle roof rack if necessary, and try to take it cross country. Maybe even install some extra lights on front. This car would be an extension of me and I'd treat both irreverently. I would be a good life.

Pretty-ish, Blonde-ish, and Celebrity-ish. Ish everything.

Thought the very same thing. Up would have been a better direction, or a grill mod with the motor at a 30 degree angle.

I can't help but like this car. Every time I see a picture of it or read something about it I catch myself with a quirky little smile, which fits this quirky little car.

45,000 Emu's is doable. I think we have a hypothesis to test.

also, second gear scratch.

I wish I could hug Porsche. Not A Porsche (although that too, I suppose), but the absolute entirety of the mark, and it's history. They get us. One day I will have one.

This is so awesome. I can't get over how much I dig this little car, and this just makes it diggier. I really think this car is getting everything right that the new bug, and for that matter the newest Mini, no longer do.

LOL! I wish my WRX helped me pick up chicks, even if they are contraception-allergic. Right now it just helps me hold down four jack stands, plan a new clutch install, search the internet for a used engine wiring harness, and generally pay extra on insurance. But for the record, my next vehicle was the even less…

I demand an explanation as to why we are not provided with a high-res desktop appropriate image of this car.

I agree with this, but I wont admit it. I hate the proliferation of SUVs but I'm a dude, and maybe a decently strong one at that, but my daughter was born 15 months into own my WRX and there was no way in hell I was giving that car up. I handled all the lifting, and 9 months into parenting I was functionally on my…

It has to be a fighter escort, because lover escorts are still widely illegal in the US

I could watch ring laps all day. That audi sounds so healthy, I bet it's a blast to drive.

This isn't RC, it's footage from Rallye Lilliput, Stage 4

@SpainIsInYurp: I'm not a drinker, and I'd walk if need be, as long as the chicks where hot enough. Can you make a country reccomendation for me?

@LandofMinos. What is that little white haired, British accented F1 mascot? A garden gnome or a leprechaun?: That is the first thing that crossed my mind too. Furthermore you can tell the people driving the Google Van aren't local to the respective municipalities because the bad parts of town aren't blurry. :)

@KeyserSöze: I agree, and I don't like it. I much prefer the more brutal looks of it's ancestors. However, after watching the Alpha 10 gauge cluster during a 9.33 153mph quarter mile run, the damn thing could look like an aztek for all I care. I want one.

I want. I didn't really want before, being a generally content WRX-runner, but now I definitely want.

I'm jealous of him. I hope it is that god-awful pale slate blue color so that the girls laugh at him.

I, for one, welcome our new exploding meatbag overlords.
