A car the Germans wish they made? You mean an interior made out of recycled ziplock bags? An exterior that resembles a puffin? Wow! Ask Jeremy Clarkson which car he prefers. I know he gave such rave reviews after he drove the Impreza WRX and STi

no doubt. that was a pretty cool commercial, but i have to say the new wrx has zero styling and character to it. i'm sure it drives nice and it may even be comparable to the gti, but it looks like a$$.

That was filmed at Mission Raceway near Vancouver, BC. Literally the most ghetto track ever... it looks better in the commercial than it really is.

They really should make Motive the sole point of entry so it's really separate like so many claim it is.

I guess they needed to do something to respond to VW's anti-rice commercials.

Subaru makes nice cars, but I don't think most people believe any Subaru has the handling and refinement of any of the German cars.

Considering the STi is not rice, I don't see why they would feel the need to respond to that.

Is the STi ugly? Sure. Does the Evo make it even less appealing to me? Absolutely. But rice? No.

Last I checked, most of the German cars were heavy and had soft suspension, and numb steering. Refinement? No contest there. As for your blanket claim that Subaru's can't handle as well as "any" German car. Kudos to you for having such fierce brand loyalty.

Have you been in a VW lately? Have you been in a new WRX or STi? I have. The interiors are worlds apart. I had high hopes on the new STi, and so did my wife. But after getting in one, it just felt blah. I mean you knock on the dash and you get bruised knuckles from the hard crappy plastics that I have in my company truck, which is a 1994 Chevy Silverado. I mean c'mon! Go sit in one. That interior of the new Impreza's is just plain garbage for that kind of money. Maybe you don't ask for better quality when you are dishing out $25k+, but I do. Go read Jeremy Clarksons impressions of the new Impreza's and their "new" interiors. Go read anyone's impressions with that interior.

I agree 100% with you. I just saw a new Evo today, and Subaru is gonna lose big time to the new Evo. Just based on looks alone! I would definitely spend money on a new Evo, not an STi.

Yes, i'm sure the STI owner will be so sad they have a hard (but durable) dash when they spank any VW (stock for stock) on the track.
Seriously when you ahve to resort to interior and clarkson (Mr, the Z06 costs $100k less and drives better than the ferrari, but you should get the ferrari for the interior) for reasons a performance car sucks, its time to stop.
The Lotus elise has a pretty crappy interior.
Yes, the STIs no looker but neither is the GTI/R32 (now i think they look better than the STI, but not good).



I probably don't know what I'm talking about
