to me, the WRX's are ugly, but Evo's are much nicer.
However I agree, if Mazda took care of the handling and exterior and interior, and Subaru took care of the cupholders, and the other stuff, it'd be a great car
Then again the car would cost a lot just like any car that looks good and is fast, so why don't you guys just buy an Rx-8, Mazdaspeed Protege or a 350Z? Or an Evo hehe

Also as for hadleing I leave dealing with the suburus weight for handling to STI. They make some insane parts. My friends former Suby destroys my MP3 in handling. He put on an entire STI system though.
I do wish Mazda would make a return to the awd market though. FOr a finaical stand point, to put it on one car is not feasable but if they could adapt the system to go on a protege and handle, say the tribute then they might be able to make it fly. An AWD MPV would be nice again too.
Wasn't the 323 GTX the first japanese car with alwheel drive and turbo power. I though Mazda basicly invented this combo in Japan. They don't need Suby and suby doesn't need them.
