It's all true. Every fact was checked and re-checked to the highest and most rigorous academic standards.

And yet, you still envy the WRX and STI... Why don't you build up that Legacy Turbo so you don't have to bash turbo imprezas for being faster than yours?

Dammit. Quite tempting me to sell the SVX. I love that car, but having a buyer that would take care of and appreciate it almost makes me willing to sell it to buy a Titan.

That's the Subaru B11S concept car. Looks like a 350Z humped a Mazda RX-8, then was raised by Aston Martin and Alfa Romero foster parents.

It's supposed to have a H6 twin turbo with like 450hp. It's the spiritual successor to the SVX/XT6. IMO, Subaru should have used the B11S grill on all their cars rather than the higher Alfa style grill they ended up going with.

As long it's red and leather, how it got that way is no matter to me.

Best part about the car is the steering wheel (its missing so I am assuming it was the only thing left out of the owners rapage)
