Well i think that Subaru could do a lot better, they just seem to only bother about WRX and STI while the rest of their other cars are heavily watered down. Its either all out crazy with the big turbos, or nothing at all with them.

The new Legacy is a perfect example, its just a huge bulky bus compared to the all ones before it, the base model 2.0L is less powerful than the outgoing model but the car is heavier...you really have to buy the top end model if you want any kind of good performance. Its becoming more and more like a Toyota Camry each generation.

Even the impreza is becoming just another Jap family saloon. The WRX might as well be a completely different model not associated with the Impreza name, thats how different they are nowdays.
You used to buy an Impreza over a Corolla or Jetta (etc) because of the quirkiness and more hard edged dynamics. Sure you got a bit more plasticky less frills interior but it would perform so much nicer.
Without those things the Impreza is nothing...
