I saw the WRX on Top Gear and whated to compare to a Mustang. The only reason I test drove Olds was because it at the same dealer, $5000 cheeper, and I was borded.
Those WRC car are highly modified.

It was I that asked - and I am far from an "Asian car lover" - but I know for a fact that that "mid-sized" V6 Olds is a shit box. It may "feel quicker" - but that is about it.
It personifies what our European friends say about American cars only being any good in a straightline.
Which model was it? The Alero? That's a Malibu/Grand Am for goodness sakes...
