Only comparing in the sense that BMW would never do something silly like putting black plastic fenders on their sedans. (Honestly, is there any brand out there at all that puts plastic fenders on their sporty sedans?)
And yes, I somewhat agree that the WRX has never been spectacular, but if the "only defining feature" of a new model is some SUV-ish plastic, then clearly someone somewhere dropped the ball.
