Highlights:
"The new Subaru is about as much fun as a church service. And it doesn’t look good in photographs because, like me, it doesn’t look good at all. I’ve seen more attractive things in medical books."

"In a normal car this is a speed-scrubbing health and safety warning that soon there will be ambulances and fire but in the Mitsubishi it was simply a portal through which you had to pass to get at the car’s heart and soul."

the SST tranny must be pretty weak if the the FQ 360 only comes in a 5 speed. Boo

Maybe Melissa would like a four door instead of an SUV? Hmmm

Haha I noticed that too. And ere's my favorite quote:

And I can assure you that I most definitely will not replace it with a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X FQ-360. Because, I swear to God, you couldn’t get more attention even if you were Jade Goody and you stood on a bridge over the M1 motorway and had full sex with a cow.

I started reading the article and the entire time was thinking "WTF kind of tangent or ran is he on?" then when he got into talking about the Evo I couldn't help but laugh.
