My next Scooby!

I thought you all might like this, the Subaru R1 , from the Tokyo Auto Show. I'm trading my Impreza in asap!

Also, note Subaru's new design theme, its a continuation of what was first seen on the B11S concept car.

Car Info: want a WRX
With a few minor changes, It wont be TOO bad. Too being the hugeeee *** key word. Look at the toyota...matrix(i think)...with a few changes it wouldnt be much worse than that.

EDIT: Sorry, I dont know WTF got into me- Its an *** with wheels(like someone said).

Minimobiles are all the rage in Japan. Look at the Honda Fit, Toyota Vitz, Scions, etc etc. Alot of them could be made to be very nice too. I wouldn't mind having one for a daily driver.

Toyota ECHO. I see them regularly. If those sell then people will buy that Subaru provided the price is $10k new.

Japanese people would buy fresh feces if it was sculpted into a cute lil' shape, no wonder those cars are popular, heh.

There is something very similar to that here in PA up at IUP university... My gf has an apartment and there is this black vehicle that is the SAME concept BUT it's A LOT narrower and thinner... and not as big... Looks like a european car because its soooo tiny, but from the looks of it, looks completly street legal. It has headlights tail lights..etc.. One of these days I will get out and actually take pics of it and post it.. I do not know who makes it nor do I know what to google search for pics...

ALMOST like this but narrower!

I would seriously drive one of these. I have always liked vehicles that have looked like this.. more of a space concious design.. but still pratical in my opinion...
