Really not as bad as the Vauxhall Adam, or the new laferrari.

WRX replacement?

The new car came from the "Legacy" "Revolution" and "Touring." So they could have called it the LRT but that sounds like something middle aged women take to keep their hormones in check.

I think WRX Touring would be just fine

Dacia Duster.....what's it's little bother called, the Dacia J-Cloth?

And the Nissan Juke...obviously a misspelling of Joke, judging by the design.

The best must go to the Toyota MR2 when sold in France.

When the name is read out, it means "sh1tty".

Crap name and another hideous design. Those stupid flares a third of the way down the rear quarter, the losing of the window line as it meets the front wing, the silly little hump over the front arches. The designers must be p1ssed out of their trees when they get the CAD software out!

Its at the moment Japan only, so I think they will change the name if it goes to different markets.

Think it looks like any current car made now, generic styling, but its not offensive, think their designs are slowly getting better though. Shame they don't keep close to the concepts they produce, as they are very dramatic.

When the Impreza first came out, the tagline for the ad campaign was: New Drivers Basic.

Mitsubishi's FTO stands for: Fresh Touring Origination.

Honda's NSX stands for: New Sportscar eXperimental.


Gotta love the Japs with their eager-to-please, but slightly misguided, 'Pidgin English'.

Judging by the reaction the styling gives me when I see one I thought they'd just mis-spelt Puke

Looks the same as every other mid-range family saloon.

Subaru Generic.


I always liked the old Peugeots with the GRDT badge.Always reminded me of GROT.
