BAIC opinion: Best Subaru of all time?

Bored, just wondering what you all think is the best Subaru ever made? Doesn't have to be an Impreza, can be a tuner car, whatever.

MY vote: 22b. Easily the sexiest Subaru, and if Gran Turismo and Enthusia tell me anything, also the fastest and funnest.



Honorable mentions: GST's L project (Also dead sexy), and the Prodrive P2 which is mostly Subaru underneath.

I'd have to say this years new WRC car.

Although I agree that all of the car's mentioned above are pretty awesome in their own rights.

And I always liked the old SVX too, but it isn't in "best of all time" contention

I'd have to ask what category. As far as high speed luxury vehicle, I'd have to vote for the SVX, hands down. If for maneuverable sports car, I'd vote for the 22b, if for do-it-all, of course I'd vote for the Forester.

Not to say the XT6 wasn't a great car in its time, with the self-lowering suspension which put you ~2 inches off the ground at speed...

Category?

Whatever your opinion of greatest Subaru of all time is. You can define your own greatest.

I actually like the Brat haha, I would love one of those.

And no more saying your own car TIA

In terms of legendary status and ultimate rare factor as well as cool factor, the 22B wins hands down, nothing can touch it.

In terms of WRC cars, the MY00 WRC car kicks the crap out of all WRC cars hands down in every category.

Sure, the newer WRC cars might have a slight power advantage, but the GC WRC cars were smaller, cooler, and won more WRC events than any others.
