I think having read this thread the main bug bear (no pun intended) is the "Chav Valve"

They are like farts, only immature people appreciate a loud one.

Most Rex's (avoided Scooby and used the Aussie reference) have some external mod but as they say you can't please all of the people all of the time.

The sudden influx of yank speak, phrases and making english blokes turn into yank wanabees, mainly due to them reading too much on nasoic And yes I am pointing a finger at the arch rolling, ground scraping, "bomb" stickering morons. I mean wtf is that all about trying to emulate Americans, it's not cool and it's not clever

That wasn't my point! Not rolling arches in general, rolling arches on scoobs for the sole purpose of dragging them on the ground! That idea came from Nasoic.

The only really things I dislike are :

DV's
Neons
Surplus lighting i.e. Audi stlye christmas tree add ons
Stickers

The thing I hated most about Subaru ownership is the mental heads that turn up in a subaru wearing a subaru jakcet, got a subaru watch, wallet etc etc.... SAD!

you are aware the US scene is about 1 million times better than the UK scene?

They try new and different things.

As said before, you go to a car show and the 20 Impreza's on a stand all the look the same.

Its boring as hell.

All I'm hearing is "Yeah, they'd all look the same if we didn't make them different" type comments. Why spend so much time making something look like something its not... if you don't like it, or think that it looks like every other Subaru then don't buy it.... Barry Boy up a sh1tty Clio or something else instead.
