My guess is a Subie Forestor XT.

This is also my vote.

I was going to guess a Mazda 323 GTX... but I see someone already thought of that! Drat!

How about an old Isuzu Impulse/Geo Storm? I'm not sure the Storm was available in Turbo AWD guise, but the Impulse sure was. And the handling was tuned by Lotus!  :rofl2:

I know someone who has (and drives) a Fiero as a summer toy, into which he dropped a 305 small block.  It is often used to terrorize Vettes and other fast cars on random highways.  Not AWD, though.

A manual - you must be an enthusiast!
Change the intake hose. Hmmm, I smell a turbo.

Ya..the extra boost added was compressing the stock intake hose.  Almost made it pancake flat!  Crazy...

The intake hoses were one of the first things to be changed after increasing the boost on the old Talon. ;)
