I dont. Just looks like an Imprezza to me. I didnt even know they did other versions apart from a WRX or whatever. I dont drive them, I have no inclination to ever own one, so an Imprezza is just n Imprezza to me, so yes it fully meets the OP's criteria.

Yes, I feel to own an Impreza you have to at least be able to spell 'Impreza'!

Well, you're a bit thick then. Like the evo it was based on a mid size boring sedan.

The new 997 Turbo S is a good example of this; Porsche state 3.3 secs, Road & Track got 2.6 secs.

O/T - I seem to recall reading somewhere that the US magazine 0-60 tests start from a rolling 2-3 mph, kind of defeats the object of a 0-60 IMO if true.

Back on topic: MX-6?

Wolf's clothing?

It was designed for the American market where people don't assume that all coupes are supercars. The V6 wasn't slow in it's day either.

I can't see how that would help with the Porsche, as I don't think the launch countrol would work when moving.I think it is more the fact that the US testers do their testing one up and with less fuel (and maybe have better press cars).

I should think that would be slower than using launch control...

yeah yeah, senna designed it. handles beautifully, delicacy and delight. whatever.

I seem to remember the auto took 6.8 to 60. Jeez.

I don't want to state the obvious here but cars and picking one are all to do with compromise.

Not exactly Wolf's clothing but a Mondeo ST... TDCi booyakasha.

Subaru SVX

150MPH isn't tooo slow

Agreed, not that I'm biased in anyway

Agreed, the top speed is more than acceptable. I love these cars, and did consider one in the past, but it just doesn't go like it looks in the real world! Am I right in thinking these can be bottomless pits nowadays?

Not quite 150mph -as 145mph is the max i could find in a road test.

[dan TCE]

Ford Focus Zetec S, looks remarkably like a ST from a distance, but has a 1.6?!

[collateral]

sohc, fwd, 160hp gives 114hp/tonne, best case - in something that looks like it should be chucking out 2x that

[Yiliterate]

Some of these come with Granada engines...





(Apologies if this is your car and it has doesn't have a Granada engine...unless it has a Sierra engine, in which case the broader point holds!)

Credit to OP where it's due hence the link, but this is the best one I've seen in a while:
