Review: 2008 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport 1 year ago on Autoblog

The standard new generation evolution usually goes like this: bigger, roomier, longer, wider. For some models, it's not such a big deal to go fiddling with the specs, on certain cars it's even a welcome improvement. Subaru, however, has a conundrum on their hands when they go messing with the ...

It's been an exciting start, mainly because I get to dig out all my old model building tools and skills.
