50% of the time I goto the Exchange on base I walk out and some old guy is walking around my car trying to figure out what it is? And I'll walk up and theyll say sweet ride or something of the sort. When old guys like it you know its good...by old I mean retired 60+

I've more thumbs up, stares, "sweet car," and "What is it?" then I can honestly keep track.
People are overwhelmingly positive towards the twins in my experience. |

So I've been shopping around for a new car for my dad. Stopped by a Mercedes, Cadillac, and Lincoln dealership. Every single one of those dealerships I felt like I was the salesman as the sales people were more interested in my car than they were selling me theirs lol.

Drove around Newport, Hollywood, and Malibu over the weekend.
Got couple of stares from people driving Audi R8, Ferraris, and jaguars. This car is definitely an ego boost... |

Had two guys run across a parking lot to ask me what my car was. Had a guy in his late 70s the other day at Hardee's tell me that is one of the nicest cars he's seen. Coming from an older person like that just shows you how "classy" these cars look while still having the aggressive look

As I was loading some new car parts into my trunk the other day, a younger guy came up to me and asked "when could he could go for a ride?" I just laughed and said "whenever ya want" to which he replyed "no seriously" Then proceeded to ask me the standard questions about the car. He really wanted to come for a ride in it though, but I was on my way to work. This car gets lots of attention for sure. I get the "what kind of car is that?" is that on a regular basis.

I mostly lurk here but I'll chime in. At work it turned heads and everyone was asking what it was. I drive alot like 30k+ a year. At least a few times a week I get guys in the next lane giving thumbs up and comments on it. And of course the guys trying to race. I've got the wr blue limited. It's a fresh looking car and I am not used to the attention but the car deserves it.

Every time I stop at 7-11 to get beer, there is always someone in front who tells me what a nice car I have. It's nice. I'll take it

Other day was driving along, guy behind me in an older ford taurus. I was playing my music pretty loud so at first when he pulled up and did the window roll down motion I htought he was going to yell at me for my music....but nope! Asked if this was the new toyota subaru car, I said yeah, he said it was an amazing looking car and asked me a couple other questions. We were driving at about 40 mph the whole time lol.
