Why would you want to though, the blob is far better looking.

Mmm, a 2-litre turbo Hawk-eye, with non-Lexus style (what were Subaru thinking?!) rear lights, black instead of white/black interior etc etc.

One hell of a hybrid car, but I like the idea! Shame about the expense.

the one i know of got hit in the rear and pushed into the car in front. as i understand it the bumper bonnet lights front and back were paid for by the isnurance and they added some cash to it (with insurance companies permision) and had hawk eye bits fitted instead of bug eye
