True Kobe,

But much 'strong corporate identity' is actually a euphemism for 'fc uking ugly' Like the current Mercedes, as an example.

Even the Paul Bracq and Bruno Sacco-era Mercedes were, well, challenging, if distinctive.
yes you are right.. an identity doesn't mean it will be actually good looking..

though the actual perception of a design is always influenced by the background in which it is placed.. which of course changes over time..

don't have a massive interest in MB. but I would be very happy with a pagode in the garage..

They were launched at almost exactly the same time as me, and yes, I do have a soft spot for them. Paul Bracq and his bonkers rooflines!

The WRX is already available in the UK through Litchfield, and they look shit.

The STI is looking much better and a bit more beefy.

I am going to wait to see it in the flesh.

If it has 320bhp, 0-100 in 11 secs and drives well I could be interested.
