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.

  • Tennis: Beautiful game that doesn't know how to count

    Wimbledon just concluded yesterday (congrats Sinner!), and it's a reminder of how much I enjoy tennis as a sport. I used to play it some (wasn't particularly good), and still tangentially follow it nowadays (the Roland Garros final this year between Alcaraz and Sinner is an all-time classic).  There's something intrinsically mesmerising about the sport, I think even for spectators who have never picked up a racquet. At first glance, it may seem like just two people (or four, but doubles is

    The enduring charm of Singapore wet markets

    I know I’m idealising it all - as a not-so-young millennial that can’t remember the last time he cooked a full meal for himself. (That was probably a good two years ago.) But moving on slightly from morning walks now, the space I’ve found myself frequenting when I feel like I need a break from the routines of everyday life (or to simply clear my head) isn’t the park. It’s the basement level of Punggol Plaza. That a wet market even exists here should be surprising. Punggol, after all, is qui
