Topic: Comparison Test: 2016 Subaru WRX STI vs 2016 Volkswagen Golf R

I saw a Focus ST today in Fredericton that looked pretty good and not boy-racerish at all IMO.

Anyway, I just knew VW vs Subaru would be a nice contentious thread!  Good job Jacob!

What color was it? There's a couple of the orange ones around that look quite good.

Probably the Kraft dinner coloured one that has been sitting on the lot for months.  It isn't overly boy racer, much like that Fiesta ST, but the RS version is IMO just as boy racer as the STi.  Which is fine if you like that sort of thing.

Both cars are at the extreme ends of the looks spectrum. One is over-the-top, the other is a snooze fest.

The middle? 2017 Golf 420R.

Better.  But where's the wagon version?

Can't help.  But there is a current R wagon.

Meh.  I guess it's E63 or bust. 



And look it's brown too!

Actually I think that's the second one they've had. Previous one didn't have a sunroof, current one does.

Not fair.  That car can actually slow the rotation of the Earth.

Yep.  It's like bringing an AK47 to a knife fight.

Why would they bring in the same color twice?  Especially such a uncommon and probably less popular color?
