What was it Clarkson said in his Heaven & Hell DVD....."these cars don't look like they've been designed by a person, more like by a corporation with the sole aim to make some money".

Bugeye's look particularly nice before they go to the chav factory that glues on all the after thoughts.

From a distance I've mistaken a Neon for a scoob, so yes I agree with you.

PS. And the Corolla is far too attractive to be compared to a bugeye

Subaru has always followed Toyota's basic design theme in terms of of the front end looks.

I did a thread in general a while back of Impreza vs Corrollas through the ages

give me a min and I'll find it........

Never seen an Impreza in that aqua blue colour before, looks quite unique.

Has somebody stolen the spoiler off it??
