blogentry-133713-0-82206000-1420945302_thumb.jpgPainted in 'Premium Red', which is in the same shade as the original, the new Legacy looks much more muscular with upgrades to the exterior. It gains new front and rear bumpers, side skirts and the signature rear boot spoiler. It also wears new 19-inch alloy rims wrapped with 245/40R19 Bridgestone Potenza tyres.

blogentry-133713-0-20878900-1420945281_thumb.jpgNothing has been changed mechanically for this concept. This means the concept runs a non-turbocharged 2.5-litre boxer engine outputting 170bhp and 235Nm of torque which is a far cry from what the original Legacy B4 Blitzen (276bhp and 320Nm of torque) had. Let's hope Subaru does do a properly souped one in the future!

Dear Carmakers,

 

Stop making aggressive-looking variants with wings, bodykits and bigger wheels that have zero enhancements to their performance (power, braking and/or handling). Doing so just makes you a bunch of cockteasers.

Subaru has fallen far with this car. All show and no go. Sheesh. A lot like the BRZ (=FT86, but the blame for that can be laid at Toyota's doorstep), but at least that could handle even if it wasn't quick.

I'm pretty sure this will look good in ICED Premium Red. But how much of this will go into actual production? Also, at 176bhp, it really is a laughing stock (pun intended), there are already many laughing "stock" Subarus - the RS2.0 comes to mind.

    10 terrible wedding songs

    A song can have a catchy title and/or chorus, but its true meaning is only found within its lyrics. If you're planning your wedding, any song about breakups, cheating/infidelity, and being the other woman has no business being part of the reception playlist. Most people, however, take the song title to be its meaning and don't consider its actual content. Here are 10 songs that sound romantic but should be avoided. 10) Irreplaceable – Beyoncé Don't mistake this for being

    I never knew Monster Trucks were so popular here

    Although it appeared to be selling out fast back when my friend shared the link to the Monster Jam Singapore event some months ago, I could never expect just how popular the event turned out to be until the day itself. You see, originating in the USA, Monster Trucks aren't really an international phenomenon, unlike F1 or other forms of motorsports. Even someone like me, who's very interested in cars, doesn't really know much about these massive machines. And yet, on the day of the even
