First off forgive the lens flare! My old Nikkor lenses have dreadful flare! Also, gold wheels don’t normally work well on cars but these did! I don’t know if it really came across in the pictures but IRL they look awesome!

Wait, there’s a “beautiful” version of that assault on good design sense? Musta missed that...

The RC looks pretty good in person.

It really does, even in non “F” form.

Agreed. The predator grille, the ungainly high nose (that is pedestrian crash regs fault), and the thick roofline, and dubious lighting design... I just can’t give RC a pass, even though I have been wishing IS had been a coupe instead of a too-small sedan for a while now.

Way for Lexus to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

STI-swapped Foresters are very cool.

I particularly like SH-generation (09-13) Foresters with 08-14 STI drivetrain swaps, which require even less customization than the earlier ones (the early ones reportedly require more wiring harness merging... after 2008 both Forester and WRX/STI were CANBUS, and pretty much just the work of swapping the driveline and other parts over.

I still want to see an XV Crosstrek with an FA20DIT and STI drivetrain swap.

Agreed on all points.

Right up until you get to the concave headlights, that is.
