    I have the unusual opinion that the car looks good. I think it looks alot better than the old WRX wagon, at least. The hatchback appeals to me for practicality, and I think it's a pretty clean design. The hood scoop is alot better on this generation, IMHO. Alot cleaner.

    Now the current WRX sedan, on the other hand... I would never be seen in one, ever.

    Yesterday driving into Manhattan wit my sister I was playing with a regular WRX at the GWB approach.

    I was saying that it was too bad they didn't have an STI and she looks at me and goes...

    "ewwwwwwww"

    What can they do about the porcine appearance? And everyone knows that rally cars need lights; this thing needs at least...12 more lights.

    @Cheeseslap:

    Damned refresh timing.

    There should be at least three 7" lights on the leading edge of the hood, with mounts for an additional six on the bumper.

    @that ain't the way to have fun, son:
    Right? And I think they're just wasting the space on the leading edge of the mirrors. I mean, you can get at least two more 6" lamps on there, like an FJ Toyota. And then there's the roof--I mean, is there a flatter, more perfect mounting place for a whole suspension system of lights? And don't even get me started on through-bolting on the hood scoop!

    @Cheeseslap:

    We're on the same page.

    I'll give up soft "bumpers" for lights. They're about as protective, yet much, much more useful.

    This is a model, but an example of a good starting point. The crop-monster got me, but the concept is obvious.

    It can't be worse than idiots with faux HID lights mis-aimed to the sky who constantly run their fog lights....

    Dear Mr Block

    I am now officially boycotting you and withdrawing my support and fandom due to your relationship with Monster Energy Drinks. Monster Energy Drinks has been undertaking frivolous lawsuits to protect their copyright and trademarks, but have done so at the expense of both free speech and common sense. Targets of Monster Energy Drinks have been a Vermont wine maker, a beverage review website, and an actual movie monster.

    I respectfully ask that you cease any and all partnerships with Monster Energy Drink immediately. I sincerely hope your image does not want to be tarnished by such ludicrous actions of Monster Energy Drink.

    Sincerely
    A Former Fan. #kenblock

    @cesariojpn: Dude, seriously? On Jalopnik?

    (reads up on issue in question)

    Son of a...okay, I'm with you on this.

    And you know what ticks me about it? I like Hansen's. Not Monster - I'd drink fermented goat pee first - but their ginger ale is one of the better ones. So there it is, Hansen's.

    But good luck getting Block to get away from Monster. It's the biggest logo on the car. #kenblock

    @cesariojpn (and very OT): I feel the same way. I was never a huge Block fan (though always impressed by his ability).

    I did feel JB's stock as a potential F1 champion went down when got got Monster'ed. I mean, when you're already making several million pounds (even if that was a several million pound pay cut) do you really, really need to let the Monster cartel give you coke and whore money? I could be wrong of course.

    Monster Energy is the iquid version of Monster Cable - and people would do wise to deprive them of business. #kenblock
