    anyone seen this on the road?

    I was driving along the A12 today on my way to work minding my own buisness when above me on a bridge i saw one of these..... there bloody scarey when its early and you think you dreaming..



    28 Sep 2007: Subaru's latest advertising initiative for the new Impreza looks set to spark off a 'rubbernecker' outbreak throughout the UK's roads.

    For the lower deck of a car transporter features three upside down cars which create a mirror image of the identical three Imprezas on the upper deck.

    The striking sight is part of the manufacturer's 'Subaglue' campaign aimed at highlighting the car's symmetrical all-wheel drive.

    And with the strap-line: 'Sticks To The Road', the overall message of excellent road-holding and active safety is strongly communicated.

    The specially prepared car transporter will tour England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland for almost eight weeks starting on 1 October.

    Yodis got one for sale at the moment too

    I wonder how many crashes that lorry will cause then with people gorping at the upside down cars. I know I would take a second look!

    I expect they are a fun bundle. I just don't like them. Don't like the shape or noise. If I did go Japanese I would go Mitsy Evo every time.

    At least Subaru are capable of continually putting out a family saloon size performance car that is fun, fast and meets current emissions. Ford have really lost it since the Cosworth which is a real shame.
