Thanks. I’m happy with it considering it was an impromptu thing and I only had my iPhone on me.

Sepia filter makes me itch.

It’s a dramatic warm filter can’t you tell! J/K here’s the original with just auto levels. The sky sucks today so I was just having a little fun. I don’t intend to do any filters with photo dump later.

Unsurprisingly, the original looks more natural than what I was able to achieve in my de-sepiafication. Here’s some more punch.

This current gen Impreza may it be bland as scrambled eggs, but it such a huge improvement in the looks department. The last gen looked like a Toyota that even Toyota thought was too stupid looking.

So call me biased if you want but I think Subaru’s current lineup is reminiscent of late 90’s - early 00’s Toyota: perfectly inoffensive. The previous Legacy/Outback and Impreza were disasters. Every time I see a new Outback on the road I think why oh why couldn’t I wait another year and a half to get a ‘15. I love our ‘13 but it is certainly not a pretty car.

I totally agree.

My coworker is leasing one, specifically a terrible one. It’s burned 4 quarts of oil in the last 2500 miles, Subaru has told him this is “normal.”

Interesting. I thought the oil burning issue had been pretty much resolved. Subaru replaced my short block once it was burning a quart every 1000 or so.

I think he just has a total lemon. He doesn’t even have 7k miles on it yet. That said, the dealer is totally giving him the fucking run-around

...new Kia Forte 5?

Oh wait, is that the new Buick Regal?

Hmm..., no, that’s not it...

Sorry :( Another dealer around? Mine has been great. I’m guessing new assembly line in Indiana vs. importing from Japan last generation means some issues with 2017 models.

It definitely isn’t the most exciting thing to look at. On the other hand it isn’t a Nissan Juke.

Visually (because not directly comparable), I’d take a Juke over a Cherokee, first-generation Compass, PT Cruiser, HHR, Aztek, and Caliber.

I’m actually a fan of the Juke’s styling but it was a good quick example to pull out of the air because it polarizes people.

Fair enough! I was surprised at the vitriol the Top - uh, I mean Grand Tour trio had for the Juke.

They have for a long time. I think it’s just an easy target. I still got a kick out of it. I also lol’d pretty hard at the Discovery bit right after that.
