    The Subaru Impreza CasaBlanca. what the f*** is that????

    I was reading up on the Impreza on Wikipedia earlier today, and they mentioned a rare model called the CasaBlanca (offered in a wagon & sedan), which was only sold in Asia for a short period of time.
    So I did a quick google search, and found this-

    The Impreza was definitely NOT made to be a neoclassic car! (in my opinion anyway)

    Another strange and rare model I found was called the Subaru Impreza "Gravel Express" which was an Impreza Outback offered with the turbocharged WRX engine, brush guard, and external spare tire similar to a Rav4 or Wrangler.
    What do you think?

    I had never heard of these models before today, and just thought I'd share them with you guys.

    That just looks like a repeated kick in the nuts. Cobblestones would be instantly fatal.

    Very interesting. I think with a slight drop and the right wheels it would look better (I didn't say good, I said better). It also needs the mirrors to be moved forward and mounted on the hood and clear side markers (the orange stands out too much).
