The Subaru is a great performer. But it's uncomfortable and one of the ugliest cars you can buy. As a matter of fact, all Japanese cars (except for a few Nissan models) are hideous. That goes for American cars as well. The only American worth owning are the classics, the pick-ups, Magnum, Charger, 300, and '06 Mustang. Everything else is complete crap.

I actually like the look of the Subu - but hear you otherwise. The Infinity G35 coup is a beut and a nice performer...though I toy with them in my Audi...speaking of had a good morning - dusted both an M3 and a new/recent model corvette on my way into work this morning - the vette in particualr was gunning for me (I really jumped in good off the line and that was all she wrote - he never caught up before I turned off a ways up...)...gotta admit the brand new vette is very sweet (and I woulnd't think to actually take one - not even in my spruced up S4). In general I agree with you - very little American is at all exiciting - and though some Jap cars have much going for them they tend to have a rather generic/bland design and are designed for the lowest common demoninator - lack a certain fun factor that can be found in various Euro cars. I do like the Honda S2000 a good deal however and Nissan seems to be trying hard to make their entire line interesting. I also like the Mazda cars in general (handling is generally decent) - but still think they could even do better. Even the new highly touted Lexus IS350 or whatever its called - seems to be an almost - but not quite there vehical - still more luxury then sport - toyota in particular can't seem to break out of drab conservative mode (not since the Supra of the mid 90s - now that was a great car!)

Originally posted by Stark EvadeI'm happy with my Magnum but not even that would be my car of choice. I'd always go German if I truly had a choice. BMW. I'd also love to own a Benz CL 55 Brabus.
I was a valet for a few years and parked everything from the ugliest beater you can imagine all the way through the Ferrari Modena shown here
So I admit about the Porshe chassis I could be wrong, but I've heard from numerous sources that all Subarus have their chassis based on current/previous Porsche chassis. As far as the LS goes it's a sports sedan and from my previous work experience one of my favorite cars to park. It felt 95% similar to a Bentley for how much less??
The Mercades with their stupid electronic keys that cost like a grand to have replaced. They also have about as much acceleration as a Honda Insight. I mean how long do you have to slam the accelerator before the car makes a reaction? Audi, VWs, Mecades (same parent company if I am not mistaken ... I COULD BE!!) parts and tune-ups cost a small fortune. Expensive cars STAY expensive is what I am getting at and I for one don't care that much about it to make my transportation one of the largest yearly costs like some ppl. Thus why I drive a 93 Civic lmao

Whoo-hoo - had a great day...as it was an autocross event (play time really) decided to take out the BMW instead! (better on the really tight stuff and where I can swing the tail out etc) I can still smell the burning rubber...perhaps it has permeated my skin/clothes...ah well - great fun!
