I like the new subies... Then again I liked the Mazda GTR, Escort, and other hatchback rally cars from yesteryear.

Thats 2 of us, though I will admit I didnt like them at first but now they've grown on me.

However performance wise, Top Gear has written them off to the evo

My mate has a Subaru Impreza MY05 and had to get it serviced. When we headed down to the Subaru Repair shop, he encountered a problem and had to leave his car there, since they had no spare rentals etc one of the ladies decided to give us boys a lift home in her new WRX STi Hatch.

While we were driving she mentioned the fact that the MY09 Subaru's will feature a Sedan model that will only come in WRX and Impreza models but the STi model will be retained by the likes of the MY08 Hatch as it currently is the case.

Personally after hearing this and getting excited for Subaru again, after seeing the pictures of it, those thoughts of relief for Subaru went down the toilet.

As for the new EVO X and upcomming XI and 2009 lancers they look great, they are heading in a decent direction, as designers, the flat panel style we are used to is definately dead, just take a look at the new VE's, the GTR, everything is getting rounder etc.

The new sedan WRX looks SHIT!!!!! It's so terrible i dont know anyone who will personally take a liking to it. As for the Impreza model MY09 sedans they don't look so bad...the scoop and front grille on the Rex sedans look awful (for MY09's). I think after seeing the sedans i have grown alot fonder of the Hatches lol. Heres a pic from the Subaru site itself:

      The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!

      Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.

      Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 😛

      500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
