Ah... so the age old "Evo VS Scooby" issue will no longer be an issue this time around then?

That shark-inspired Evo X is going to outsell the Scooby 10 to... nil really.

Wow, did they buy corolla's from Toyota, slap on a turbo and rebadge them or something. Oh wow, this must be subaru's ultimate strategy to clean out old stock.

Front end looks like a Camry w/ a hood scoop. :cry:

Body kit looks tacked on like a Corolla S or something. And no more fender flares.

Big disappointment. At least the interior looks better, higher quality.

hahahahaha, I love all the people that were praying it was an April fool's joke (really, how did they not check road & track, motortrend etc etc). Yes, the designers at Suburu really do have that bad of taste.
