Default Subaru Baja

So, my neighbor just bought one of these things. I went over and talked with him yesterday about it and they're not too bad. Granted, I still wouldn't ever buy one, but they're pretty versatile for people who need the luxery's of a car AND a truck. The interior is roomy, and the "truck bed" would be great for hauling stuff. I forgot to ask him though how the power is, but next time I see him, I'll ask him to pop the hood so I can see what's up in the engine bay. It does look pretty funny though going down the road. Kind of like a new age futuristic 4 door El Camino. *lol*

Visionz: the car is basically a 2.5RS that weighs 3.4k lbs. It uses a EJ25 2.5L H4 engine. That car does serve a purpose and is reminiscent of the Subaru Brat. My only gripe is why didn't they put the Subaru H6 motor on it?

Yeah, thats the thing about Japanese car companies I just don't understand. They know Americans are power hungry yet all too often Japanese companies continue to put weaker engines in cars to be sold in a market that values powerful engines. It just doesn't make sense. frown
