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.

    How are we already in June?

    During lunch with my mother a couple of weeks back over yong tau foo, I was asked about my opinion on the latest NDP song. And of course, as expected of any chronically insular millennial, my reaction was: “Huh? There’s a new NDP song?” But of course there is. And I say this not to disparage the wonderful songwriters and musicians that provide an anthem to remember the nation’s birthday by annually, but to knock into my own mind the harsh reality: We’re already in mid-June.  It fe

    Big things are funny things

    Being anywhere tangentially close to current affairs news right now is deeply depressing. In so many ways, the world seems like it's going to s*it.  In a bid to escape all that and cheer myself up a little, I've been recently amused and moderately infatuated with randomly huge things. Here are just a couple that make me chuckle:  Yup, the world's largest chair. I also find the name of the company, XXXLutz, incredibly funny and more than a little blue.  Otto the ot

    Your next action film recommendation: Battle Los Angeles

    I’ve always held a keen interest in the armies of the world, the wars that raged, and the weapons used. Therefore, I usually appreciate a movie (preferably an action film) if there’s an army element and lots and lots of bullets involved. Well, Battle Los Angeles (2011) doesn’t disappoint. With explosive battles and intense drama, you find yourself rooting for a group of resilient Marines tasked with defending Los Angeles from an alien invasion force. And yes, it’s on Netflix (for now), and
