I for one think the new Camaro is quite sporty looking and I have no problems with it exepcaily in black. I would however say no to the new WRX, Subaru fucked up a good thing when they turned it into a hatch, go back a few years and get a 2004 (the year after they updated the bug eye model) not that old and still has the classic argo shape, the first gen are the pretest and most hardcore but now they are to old and thrashed. Myself realistically I'd go a S15 Spec-S (not the spec R with the retardo spoiler) very affordable in oz, in white with a nice lip kit and deep dish wheels, ala: ------------------ I hope you like me and I fit in with your life.

It sure earns extra points for flamboyancy though. The Subaru on the other hand looks like it would be practical and sporty driving wise on the other hand, but it lacks the madness of the Camaro. What I don't like about both of them that each of them seems to be a try to earn some cash on the name and glory of a former model. @Knott: While this rallye Kadett is sure an awesome performer in competition, it's use as a daily driver would be close to zero. ------------------ -temporary placeholder for a new cool signature-
