Subaru is waking up

The R2 now:


Keep praying to the Subaru gods... I think it's working!!!

according to Subaru commercials, AWD is what makes a Subaru a Subaru. So if they offer a fwd option then that version really isn't a Subaru.

if you want a small fwd, get a honda.

Is it me, or does that look like the Honda Fit? Just my 2 cents.

That thing's about stupid.....

I hope that isn't a sign of what's to come, especially considering boring-*** Toyota owns part of FHI now....
