Does it rival a 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1? :)  At least the current STi looks
somewhat menacing.  This thing looks like crap!  It could just as easily be
a Toyota Matrix with aftermarket rims coming at you.  At least the current
STi is not mistaken for any otehr car.  Man, hang on to your original one,
Taka, trunk or no trunk :)  This thing.....ahhh I can't even describe
it...words fail me.

Looks great, drives like a cross between an old truck and an XKE V12 and
has the worst visibility of any car I've driven in decades...

Just thought you'd want to know.
