This is almost exactly how I feel about the BRZ.

Re: Subaru Crosstrek

I think the body style is more defensible as a SUV than the standard Impreza wagon. The wheels, on the other hand, look like something out of the 1970's.

I keep forgetting about the BRZ. Definitely interesting, but not the car for me.

agree. Cool car...fugly wheels. I still might buy one and just get other wheels for it though.

Wish I could get the diesel.

The wheels are the only part I like. LOL.

Everything I've read about Subaru's diesel has been bad.

The Pontiac museum called, they would like Subaru to send their Aztek back.

Re: Subaru Crosstrek

The XV body is more like a Verso facelift. Toyota didn't dare do it themselves. And that says a lot about Toyota....

BRZ is little different. They wanted to milk their heritage but lost the spirit from that age. Use the power of ownership to have a more inspired company do the job albeit with everything that's bad with toyota.

And the Imprezas have become so boring.
