Question What is this?

I spotted this car off my Girlfriends balcony, looks very familiar.

The pictures are dark, so its hard to tell.
It seams that all I have seen here in vancouver are White SVX's, oh, and one silver.

looks like an older Talon or an older Eclipse to me, im saying this because of the hump in the hood and the rear end

I traded in one exactly like that for my SVX. I was so disappointed that Subaru didn't have a real white color like the Talon, but I got over it. Oh, and I think the Talon's wheels are on correctly. Some car manufacturers like them one way, some like it the other way.

it's easier to see here that it's a talon

be careful...

I raced a talon once ant it dusted my A$$!!! When I caught back up with him I had to see what He did to that car... It turns out that he had everything on that car.... T4 turbo, boost controller, Stage 2 Clutch, Nitto tires, and full Greddy Exaust... I don't remember everything else bet he said that he had it Dynoed and it pushing about 380Hp..... It looks like a complete stock Talon Tsi... It's cool though because he loved the SVX, and had the same "Deer in the Headlights Look" when I told him it was a SUBARU.... Anyway point being, be careful what talons and Eclipses you race around Greensboro NC. they are so easy to get crazy Hp out of... Unlike our cars

I'm willing to bet that the wheels aren't directional. Stock directional wheels are a pretty rare thing, I've found, and I doubt that an Eclipse or Talon has them. So the spokes may point clockwise on one side of the car and counter-clockwise on the other side.
