GT90 has the worst wheels in the history of automotive wheels. My god man, they repulse me to new levels! I didn't think such absolute garbage existed!

What's worst of all is that someone presented those wheels to people sitting at a design meeting and everyone agreed that they looked great and would be put on the car!

Stock vs stock, that car looks like a Ferrari compared to some of the subaru's that exist today. That's the sort of car that doesn't need to grow on you, unlike most subies, like the bug eye'd impreza for example. When that thing came out I cried a little... But as time went by and the aftermarket world picked up, I started to really like the GD body, though I'm still very glad that they ditched the bug eyes and went on to greener pastures like the blob and hawk eye models. I don't know what the hell Subaru was thinking when they came out with the new models, especially the new sedan... OMG, what sort of drugs were they on when they conceived the new sedan!? The new hatchback STi looks ok in stock form, much better now that I've gotten used to it a bit, but I do admit that it can look REALLY nice when outfitted with some aftermarket parts such as a grill and tail light replacement. The grill and tail lights are def the worst features of the new model hatch.

My point is, that car looks GREAT in it's stock form and will take no time to get used to since it already looks nice, unlike most Imprezas when they first come out.

I still have to argue that through all the years and history of Subaru, the most amazing looking car title goes to the infamous hexadecimal of 555, the notorious and astonishingly ferocious (for it's time), the mother f'ing 22B! (Long *** name, the" Subaru WRX STi 22B Impreza".


Pics:



Good view of the wide fender blisters



I mean, how could they POSSIBLY make this any better looking?





Imagine if Subaru followed the lead of Ford and Chevy and decided to make a retro version of the 22b, a modernized GC wide body monster! I would sell everything I have to own that if it was real, my STi and GC would be gone faster the a .308 bullet leaving a 24" barrel. Just imagine it, small, powerful, wide body, and aesthetically amazing!
ford and chevy from 1965 doesnt equil subaru in 1965



here is subarus super car




a flat 12

its a 3.5 liter


svx is blah

Wow, that seems pretty cool..

Mainly I am just here to say +zillion for the 22B. Most amazing Suby ever produced, hand built, incredible. IMHO it's is easily a supercar. I used to sit there and dream of owning one, but that is impossible. I nearly cried when they crushed #13.

The SVX could have been so awesome... Imaging w/ STi drivetrain except with a boosted H6, STi brakes and a serious diet - could have been Suby's "exotic" car. But hey, what can I say, I have always wanted an XT6.

That car looks sweet. I think with the rear taillight it needs to be two taillights instead of 1 giant one that wraps all the way around. Other then that, the car is looking fantastic. Now it's just a waiting game to see if it ever gets from concept to production.

i thought genesis started at 21 for turbo and 27 for v6

i've seen three different concept designs for this car and non of them look the same. so i have no expectations on how the car will look...if its just like the one in the link...i'll happily sell my sti and get the toyobaru sti

Seems as though the V6 is the fav amongst average users, though I'd much rather have the 2.0 turbo EVO X engine even though it's de-tuned... That's why we have people like Mike @ GST, and Ed @ EQ! To fix those silly problems!

Hyundai uses the Theta engine, similar parts from same "world" engine that mitsu uses
