Where abouts? There is a regular Impreza in my neighborhood. Don't think it is WRX though.

Saw one too. The front grill is hideous but is beautiful everywhere else. I especially dig the fender flares.

I'll agree that it was gorgeous from the front door back, but I wouldn't call it fucking ugly from there forward. I much prefer it to my car.

I parked behind him and left my car there overnight, and came back to a business card in the morning...apparently it belongs to Dan Hurwitz, the owner of Mach V Motorsports.

subaru continues its tradition of making the front-end of the impreza worse with every iteration.

i actually like the front with the "sport grille" but i still cannot keep my lunch down when i see those tail lights.

the idea of a 305 HP hatch is really appealing to me....i wouldn't mind trading the RS in for one down the road.

sport grille:

ah, yeah, this thing has the regular grille and no fogs. it was like a sea of black plastic on a white car. very much vomit-inducing.

i think the aftermarket is going to make big $$$ off of aesthetic enhancements for this thing, considering how many people like the car but hate the looks.

I could have told you it was Dan's. And not really...he sold his Evo to my boy a while back and his Wagon is for sale.

Kind of off-topic, but I'm pretty sure I saw a new Mugen Civic Si on the interstate near where I'm living today. Looked pretty aggressive...couldn't really hear what it sounded like though!!

I finally got to look at a new WRX up close, and I must say, I quite liked it. I could even deal with the tail lights.

...if only it was a sedan..itd look soooo much better. Subaru always has a way of effing up the backends of their cars.

i checked one out in alpine white with gold rims this past weekend while i was test driving stuff. the interior is awesome, but the outside is pretty sedate. not to mention the sticker price, once optioned, is definitely up there.
