But I've always like Hatchback/Wagon, so nothing new lol
I always really liked the XF R-S. I wonder why.

'05? So Bulbeye Impreza? I'm not too fan of GG. Impreza hatch I like is GR with F9T color.


BUT those are rare to come by now days... so I'm praying that SOA will bring Levorg to US. If they do, I'll be first person in line at the dealership pre-ordering it.

Yeah I prefer bug eye or hawk eye too over blobeye but I already had an 04 JDM STi driveline so this was somewhat compatible. Although the shell was automatic AND the guy had already put a WRX harness in it (didn't tell me) so we had some major electrical work to do but that parts done now at least. It looks like grandma wagon though, just boring (but clean) silver and not even a hood scoop. I got a front mount for it. Should be a fun sleeper... It'll be my first twin scroll. My old WRX had the STi driveline but a stock WRX motor and turbo.

Ah~ some sleeper wagaons looks sick. Hope your FMIC is black, so it's harder to see it. Can't wait to see some pics.

Love the look of the XF. Been liking the look of the latest AMGs as well





Strongly considered a V90 polestar as well, but ended up going with the RS

Woah... I like the STI hatch too but I've never seen the Levorg. That is pretty hot, especially in the best colour DGM

I agree that recent AMG looks nice. I'm not too fan of V90 Polestar due to how the taillights looks. But it looks way better than previous wagon (V70?)

Never seen Levorg? Prob cuz it's only released in Japan & very limited amount in Europe. They even have STI and STI tS model. (the pic is STI tS model) All the car journalists rave how amazing they are even w 1.6 liter turbo engine and CVT only... but STILL SOA will not sell it in US. SOA damn it, just put FA20DIT w MT option and sell it here already!

The difference is it's a 60 to 90 minute process at most, rather than some of the more lengthy processes we were discussing.

Haha correction, STI Sports. Of course Subaru love to give long ass name to their cars... longest Levorg name is Subaru GT Tourer Levorg STI Sports. From there, you have an option for 1.6STI Sports Eyesight or 2.0STI Sports Eyesight lol

I am eagerly awaiting the release of the STi on the new global platform. IF they have a hatch that is. I am very impressed with the wife's Impreza on the platform and think the WRX/STi will rock people's world.

One of my weaknesses is that I'm not remotely interested in memorizing the buzzwords. I'm a quick study if it directly pertains to my work. Otherwise...

When I interview people and they start spewing out a pile of buzzwords (and they often do) I stop them and ask them to explain what those words mean to them. A surprising number have no absolutely idea what they mean they just think it makes them sound important. Those ones do not get hired.
