Bengals designs (minus the new 3-series b/c that’s great) are nice & modern. They won’t age well though. The late 90s designs are timeless. ---

_Bangle_ his designs are overwrought and lack the refined simplicity that made the 90’s BMWs so timeless - you can look at an E36 and tell someone sweated those lines over and over, reapplying tape. ---

i love the current look of the impreza. I also like the bug-eye ones a lot. the model inbetween was too normal. subarus are unconventional, they should look the part. ---

How exciting, Mitsubishi has a Evo X hatch concept of sorts. It looks kind of like a Mercedes CLS Ergo, it looks stunning: [http://www.speedsportlife.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=634](http://www.speedsportlife.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=634) ---

Not a problem, it makes sense! the turbo is on that side of the engine. Currently the exhaust goes to the opposite side of the car instead of just going straight back. ---

i like the scooby front end, but agree it looks alfa-esque i also like bangles designs for the most part. some of them took a minute to get used to, but thats the way it often is with a new bodystyle after 7 or so years of production with a previous bodystyle. btw i would def rock a legacy sti wagon if it ever made it to the states (which i doubt) ---
