They would get better performance by using the Battery to drive a small Supercharger to increase the low down Torque during Turbo Lag
blow saving the Earth, lets get more Power Curious on some Tecky stuff does it have?
A) front mounted radiator and water filled chargecooler system (like the old Legacy's)
B) Frontmounted air cooled chargecooler
C) Front monted Turbo

Hmmm right I have to break silence on this subject.
This is the worst design that Subaru could EVER dream up. I'm posting in the vain hope that someone from the design / R&D team may read this plea.
Throw yourselves on your swords.....burn all PC's and paper that contain this car design and start again.
Bunch of Tw*ts.

IMO, they are on a winner. And unlike pslewis, when I say I would have one, I would mean it.

A day ago I would have said it was a real ugly bugger, but those 'chops have made me have a think about it. With a bit of work it COULD be decent.
But it's not as nice as the Evo X concept.
And can they both be as nice as what the good people at Nissan are planning?

We'll know in 10 days time.

I think a bit of Colour, Contrast and arches will certainly enhance the Car looks
Toyota seem to think so aswell, maybe a bit of Cross fertilization to

Well I think it has quite a cohesive look about it unlike the 06 Scooby which looks like the front half and back half are from different cars. It is a bold and refreshing styling change from Subaru and reminds me of a modern version of the Volvo 480. At least it looks like someone has done some styling rather than just sticking go faster wings, spoilers and ever bigger scoops for an intercooler which is located in the wrong place.

The Ford Escort was retired and the Focus replaced it :Q I owned and loved the Iconic Escort. I certainly didn't buy a Focus and looked for another Marque.
if there had been "Escortnet" simular comment's I would have been Posted then about the Focus but look were it is now.
The Impreza is an dying old Classic Rally Icon but you can only use the Defibralator so many times
Time to let it go and die gracefully, Cant wait to see the B9 or B5 finished and in the Flesh and reserve my judgement till then.
