GT90 has the worst wheels in the history of automotive wheels. My god man, they repulse me to new levels! I didn't think such absolute garbage existed!
What's worst of all is that someone presented those wheels to people sitting at a design meeting and everyone agreed that they looked great and would be put on the car!

I'm amazed at how many folks don't like the way this car looks... It's def ONE OF the nicest looking car that Subaru has EVER produced short of the GC/GD Impreza, and a few Legacy models.
Stock vs stock, that car looks like a Ferrari compared to some of the subaru's that exist today. That's the sort of car that doesn't need to grow on you, unlike most subies, like the bug eye'd impreza for example. When that thing came out I cried a little... But as time went by and the aftermarket world picked up, I started to really like the GD body, though I'm still very glad that they ditched the bug eyes and went on to greener pastures like the blob and hawk eye models. I don't know what the hell Subaru was thinking when they came out with the new models, especially the new sedan... OMG, what sort of drugs were they on when they conceived the new sedan!? The new hatchback STi looks ok in stock form, much better now that I've gotten used to it a bit, but I do admit that it can look REALLY nice when outfitted with some aftermarket parts such as a grill and tail light replacement. The grill and tail lights are def the worst features of the new model hatch.
My point is, that car looks GREAT in it's stock form and will take no time to get used to since it already looks nice, unlike most Imprezas when they first come out.
I still have to argue that through all the years and history of Subaru, the most amazing looking car title goes to the infamous hexadecimal of 555, the notorious and astonishingly ferocious (for it's time), the mother f'ing 22B! (Long *** name, the" Subaru WRX STi 22B Impreza".
Pics:
Good view of the wide fender blisters
I mean, how could they POSSIBLY make this any better looking?
Imagine if Subaru followed the lead of Ford and Chevy and decided to make a retro version of the 22b, a modernized GC wide body monster! I would sell everything I have to own that if it was real, my STi and GC would be gone faster the a .308 bullet leaving a 24" barrel. Just imagine it, small, powerful, wide body, and aesthetically amazing!

Wow, that seems pretty cool..
Mainly I am just here to say +zillion for the 22B. Most amazing Suby ever produced, hand built, incredible. IMHO it's is easily a supercar. I used to sit there and dream of owning one, but that is impossible. I nearly cried when they crushed #13.
The SVX could have been so awesome... Imaging w/ STi drivetrain except with a boosted H6, STi brakes and a serious diet - could have been Suby's "exotic" car. But hey, what can I say, I have always wanted an XT6.

It is NOT the 4b11 in the Evos
Hyundai uses the Theta engine, similar parts from same "world" engine that mitsu uses
only time will tell how it holds up to bumps in power
