the concepts are always better, in this case Subaru might have had more sales if they stuck to this - The ST-X

I still in a wierd sort of way like the baja. Its a good idea, and in certin colors it actually looks decent. I'd consider buying one.

Personally I thought the baja would sell better w/o all the ugly looking plastic side panels, I mean seriously is Subaru that stingy on their paint, I know it costs more money but why not turn out a better product that will sell better if they spend a couple extra G's to make a better product. Also interior quality, there shoudl at least be a real "PREMIUM" option that would make the car more appealing to people. Go ahead flame me but that's my opinion.

How about they just release that supercharger setup for all EJ25s? That would make me plenty happy.

I'm personally more a fan of turbo's than superchargers. I dont really know why, but i just like them better

I like the baja ok, but it's too obviously a car with a bed for me. I wish they'd make something wild and kick *** like the Vehicross

For building high power, hardcore boost applications I agree with you, however I believe that supercharger setups can be made to produce safe, low boost for our high compression EJ25's and produce power in a much more linear fashion. Much like our well loved N/A throttle response already is. I dunno, I like them both for different reasons.

the baja has plastic side parts because it's a truck and trucks get their paint stripped off faster than cars. i think they did a good job with the baja though that VW-style ragtop looks sweet

I like the plastic sides, if an off road vehicle is actually used for what it was intended for, plastic sides would be a lot better off than paint.
