What u lot think?
looks badly designed to me.
Not sure about the engineering, but it looks a bit fragile to me.
Someone send the guy some french curves!!
Man, that is one ugly car.
How do they use the Subaru gearbox (it's normally a 4wd system)?
It uses the legacy engine rather than the imprezza engine and a 2wd drive gearbox, I didn't think Subaru made any 2wd cars.
An I note that the special offer on the kit runs out at the end of January 2006, the website is obviously updated regularly.....NOT
Why do we always have to "knock" anything which is remotely different?
Ok - I happen to think it's Fugly, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. At least it is modern, different & is NOT yet another seven
clone. I also think it is grossly overpriced, but I can't see too much wrong with the engineering - tho' couldn't see from the pics
whether there is anything substantial to the tunnel, as otherwise it may not be very torsionally stiff. Perhaps he needs Fuoriserie to redesign the
body for him
I don't mind it from the side, But the diff/box ?? sticks out the back?

Are you sure its not a volvo with all those straight lines?
Designed by someone loved rulers
Rather predicatably, I like it...
C'mon the underdog / different...
It doesn't do a great deal for me to look at but I bet it sounds fantastic with that boxer motor.

I wasn't having a go at anyone specifically, but I think comments like "looks badly designed to me" need a bit more justification than
is available from those pics, if by "looks badly designed to me" you meant "badly styled", couldn't agree with you more. All
I was saying is that it is easy to knock something that someone else has done, but, personally I wouldn't knock anything unless I could say
"look at what I've done, it's so much better".
Interesting that you brought up Nitram as I know he took a lot of stick over his first build, but he'd still done something which very few people
can say they have, i.e. built a car from scratch, not a kit or even plans.
" I love the KTM x-bow, Lotus 340r and the sub 3-wheeler, all cars which are very different", don't know the sub, don't
particularly like the x-bow, but whoever restyled one of the prettiest cars ever (destroying the aerodynamics in the process by sticking cycle wings
on) & turned it into the 340r should be hung drawn & quartered! However that is just my opinion - no offence intended.
Love the Lotus 211 in your avatar BTW

I quite like it, but the screen just looks out of proportion, and the rear view is pretty awful. Wouldn't have taken much to cover up the
gearbox.
BTW, the inappropriately named Imprezza "Sport" is front wheel drive.
i like it but the screen is i bit big. but you could always change that. is there size limits for cars and the sva. you could knock somthing up like
that easy.

Nine grand for a complete kit - including rebuilt motor, isn't overpriced.
Sort of like it, but cannot stand the sound Suburu make, especially with a noisy exhaust. But that's just me.

if you click the specs link you get a bare chassis pic, which IMHO does look poorly designed. Maybe its a packaging thing, and maybe he's made up
for poor design with stronger tubes etc, but it doesnt sing to me.
Where the hell is the attachment box gone? 2 mins for the pic
