The only modified Impreza that pslewis would approve of, and even better it's a wagon.

And it is even the same colour as his old wagon.

I have seen the saloon and wagon versions of this car and they are both equally hideous.

The Back is just @@@@ but is much better than the front

Front looks like something built from the British Leyland parts bins in the 1970s.

Minilite wheels look OK.

4 grand for the worst Impreza ever? The classic wagon was ugly enough without all that treatment!

That price has got to be a wind-up?

As for Carltons. The Vauxhall ones you're 100% right, they're grim. But the Lotus version is a fine looking machine.

Vauxhall. . What's with the weedy track and lopped off rear wheel arch?



Lotus: ahh that's more like it.

lol, not enough doors for a wagon...perhaps that was the model for the two door jobbies?

Nah, sorry Lotus Carlton just looks like a classic with a Chargespeed front bumper
