Motor show glare and over-produced press shots are never going to do a car any favours; it's often only when you see it on the move (and drive it) that a car begins to make sense.
Subaru probably fervently hopes this to be true - especially since
its new BRZ coupe
has thus far received a pretty lukewarm reception.
But performance Subarus have rarely been about good looks - what matters is how they drive. We can't draw any conclusions on that front yet, of course, but this new video, released by Subaru does promise a fair bit of driving fun.
Especially with the graceful slow-mo four-wheel drifting. Lovely.
