New Impreza WRX
Surprising I have not posted on this one before, but thinking on what happened to the WRX (the best car Subaru ever made, and one of the best performance bargains, and most fun cars to drive of the last 10 years) makes me very sad. The new one looks like this:
Which is just about as boring as a car with a hood scoop can look. To try and make things a little better for 2009 over this the 2008 model, they made the regular WRX look like the STI (the basically right off the rally course boy-racer ricer special). Which just adds a lot of crap like blacked out mesh etc. Which makes it look like this:
Still crappy.
The only good thing they did is up the horsepower by 40. Which they needed to, considering the hp rating had been the same since the WRX launched, and the new model was 200lb heavier.
Basically its a bloated crappy version of the old WRX. Which, at its best, looked like this, a mad crazy bulldog of a car:
Sad, sad loss.
