    I don't know what to think of it...

    OOH, it looks nice, unique, new, and something a bit different.

    OTOH, the rear end looks super simplistic and square as the old scirocco's, and the front is just... Ach!

    Impreza FT86, purely on the looks! #subarucoupe

    So, there's already a club devoted to the FT86? That's like electing a campaign manager for the 2064 presidential race.

    On the other hand, I like the idea, and hopefully with both Toyota and Subaru taking a crack at it, one of them will get it right. #subarucoupe

    I'd love it if this mule actually had the profile of what will become the real SVX-redux, but I'm probably a bit optimistic. It seems lumpy and odd, but that's what makes a Subaru a Subaru, traditionally. Lumpy and odd. #subarucoupe

    Fast driving, done well, can look very slow and boring. Most buyers will appreciate that all the scary tendencies have been dialed out by higher performance tests than these will ever see on public roads in civilian hands.

    But I did notice a couple of squirelly moments. Without a pro driver, that could easily turn into a lurid spin or crash. Still a little work to do... #subarucoupe

    I've seen more Alfa-Romeos in LeMons than I have on the road. In my lifetime.

    @MushyHeirloom: I'm pretty sure I've never seen a roadgoing Citroen in the flesh. A few Renaults and Peugeots used to be around, but those are crazy rare nowadays. There is this place near me that has a gaggle of Merkurs, both Scorpios and XR4Tis. It's tough to tell from the road, but it appears there are at least 6 of them, and I've only ever seen 2 cars running from that place. Sounds like the appropriate ratio.

    The current STI has 305hp and for $695 you can have 340hp (93 octane). So I don't see the big deal. Yes its a tad lighter and as always has the 2.0l JDM motor compared to the 2.5l motor we get in the US. It just seems like a very minor change in output.

    This doesn't quite upset me as much as what Subaru did to all of the 2008 WRX owners. In 2008 they changed the body style completely to what you see now. They kept the same power specs from the previous (2007) WRX. In 2009 Subaru they decided that they were going to screw everyone who bought an 08 for the new body style and completely revamp the engine increasing it's power output significatnly. I almost bought an 08, thank god I didn't. There's a good chance that it would have mysteriously found itself parked halfway in the new car showroom, building collapsing around it.

    @Cognitive Friction: I asked the same question back in 1993 when cars were being advertised as having hollow carpet fibers to save weight. All I could think was "If this is important to you, take the carpet out."

    I think it was the Toyota Supra, IIRC.

    @Cognitive Friction: A person could save quite a bit of weight with lighter windows. I know that if you switch from glass to a polycarbonate like Lexan or Plexiglass that you cut the weight of that window in half. So let's say the windows all told weight 100 pounds (a fair guesstimate), if you cut that in half (using thinner glass, not a polycarbonate), that's a fifty pound weight difference. That's a pretty huge difference. Windows are an easy place to shed weight (especially without having to do a whole lot of retooling in a production setting), hence why they did it...Or so I'm assuming.
