It's a pity every company other than Tesla make electric cars that are so ugly. Or, at least, odd looking. I honestly don't see why they couldn't take the current model Impreza (which, I note, isn't the best looking anyway), and change the guts of it. I know there are weight issues, and aerodynamic issues. But surely if they want to actually sell these cars, they'd not make them stand out like a sore thumb. "Punishment cars" is what they call it at Tesla.

Having said that: Woo! Subaru rocks! If only I could say my electric subaru was going to be finished a year early... :P
