I remember this car, if I'm not mistaken it was Subaru's first performance car. It had 230 HP and AWD. Personaly, I never liked the styling, specially the windows. I'm glad Subaru didn't lose it's appetite for performance and came up with the Sti.

If I remember, it lacked a manual transmission option. And they're too heavy for a performance oriented car. Still a nice design, I think.

Saw one of these for the first time yesterday at a Publix. I hadn't even heard of it until yesterday when I saw it. Looking at the specs and performance figures on that link, it seems that it isn't anything great but it definitely isn't a dog.

A car so good, no one has heard of it!

Very few made it over to our Green and Pleasant Land.

A neighbor of mine has one, in a beautiful royal blue. The windows are kind of odd, but if you've ever ridden in a vehicle with those plastic wind deflectors stuck on the window frame, you know what they had in mind. Run 85 mph with the windows down, you get plenty of air circulation and a nice breeze on the lower part of your body, but no wind in your face. Good idea. Until you try and go through a toll booth or a drive-thru.

I'm not sure if they were all automatic or not, if that's the case it's just a travesty. The flat-six seemed like quite a good engine, if a bit difficult to work on. And the car's styling was very slick for the time. I think it comes closer to looking like a jet fighter than any other car.
