Interesting data. Just goes to show you it has very little to do with the car itself, but it's all about the idiots who are driving the same car as you.

RSX 2D C 0% C
LANCER EVOLUTION 4D C 0% C
IMPREZA 4D C 10% C

See a pattern here? The first rating is the liability rating (ie damage to other cars)...

How else could you explain how these POS land boats get better scores for liability when we KNOW they cause more damage in a crash?

YUKON XL K2500 4D SPW B 30% A
HUMMER H1 4D SPW B 20% A

Yup. Although arguably drivers of those vehicles are just as dumb, they're dumb and slow, rather than the type that is both dumb and fast.

Sigh. I remember when the Impreza was a favourite of hippies, lesbians, and gearheads. Boy, those days are long gone...

yep, i got the same increase as everyone else. it sucks. but at least I'm driving the Impreza "S/W".

I wonder if they differentiate between WRX and non WRX models of the Impreza... I imagine they would.
