alls yous guys are all talking like it's the first ugly Impreza in a line of beauties but the Impreza has never been a good looking car. Not really... The 'Aeroplane' one had its moments. In STi spec and in the right colours that is. And the one before that looked good from the right angles but also only in the right spec and colour.... The one with googly eyes looked hideous and the early models look both plain and busy at the same time.
People buy these things because of how they drive. If they're still light, raw, agile and sharp then all is not lost.
But if they drive like they now look then we could be in trouble because they look like something my Dad would buy. And he wears a cardigan with a Kleenex stuck up the sleeve and on mildly cool days he complains that he's cold. He thinks this new Impreza looks, quote: "quite nice". That's worrisome.
The ghastly fake chrome can be taken off, the plain-jane styling can be enlivend by a nice bodykit and the overall appearance can be lifted by some nice, big wheels... but if it drives like it looks. Oh dear.
