Yeah, but it's also farther away in that picture, so not exactly easy to size it up. Someone more talented than I should overlay them in profile.

That exploded turbo is neat-o! Best one graphically so far.

Hard to say, but I think that might be an E34 5er.

Why are the seat bottoms unchanged? I think I'd like a bit more thigh bolstering for the competition seats.

I love engine swaps, when you start with a standard model. Why start with something that's already special like an M, tii, R, S, RS, AMG, etc. ? Especially if it's gonna get a full cage, custom suspension, etc.

I've never even seen the current sedan version of the Impreza on the street. Or if I have - it's so anonymous, that I didn't even notice. Really hope there's a 5dr in the future, cos I think that this could turn into a pretty neat STI:

Yeah - those are great, except I've never seen a real CSL. I have however seen one std M3, and one regular E46 with flares shod with crappy replica wheels, and fiberglass CSL valences. That kinda soured me to the real wheels, even if it's unfair. When it comes to the standard wheels, this is one of the few times when…

Am I the only one who hates the chrome finish on the 19" wheels? I much prefer the slightly darker silver 18 inchers. Plus - you get a better ride with a bit more sidewall.

Plus the convertible (and maybe the coupe) gets an awesome control-all-windows-at-once switch. Why don't all cars have this!?

Nice buy! The price is too rich for me at 400k miles, but do remember that M10s are definitely less desirable than their DOHC M42 brethren.

Also remember that he's not just making jokes about the specific car he's reviewing, but also other reviews and perceptions about it. He's satirizing cars as well as car reviews.

So what is engine fire protocol? Shield eyes/face and then open hood?

Deadspin i-team, let's find this asshole! I'm checking google earth, right now.

Audi! Trickle down some of that sweet R18 tech and diesel magic, and make an extremely fast version of this thing! I wouldn't be able to afford it, but I would pine for it.

Yeesh - the back end is a mess. That black plastic lower valence would work much better if it wasn't stretched into a weird shape to acommodate the license plate.

I'd imagine she's a totally beguiling older french woman. She's somehow incredibly sexy, without being obviously so. She's a bit aloof, which just makes your infatuation with her stronger. One night, she silently takes the cigarette out of her mouth and gently puts it in yours before walking away. You say nothing,…

I understand that every panel is different, but I'm pretty sure that's just the naturally progression from show car to production car. Note that I said show car not concept car, because show cars are typically very close to production. I agree that the interior is better, but all in all, the over all changes are…

I dunno - as a concept car the Stratos Concept is perfect. And as a rally car the Stratos is perfect. They're both great.

How's the production version any better? Lights and door handles maybe?
