There's a reason I'm not posting any 9-4x or 9-7x or 9-2x or anything else in that vein. The 9-2x is just kind of a silly goose, the 9-7x is a giant lug, and the 9-4x...the less that can be said about it the better.

NG 9-5, though...

after having owned it, i think the 330ci ZHP has aged better than the M3, and is therefore better looking presently and underrated.

Subaru keeps making cars that are pretty nice to look at. probably because they aren't entirely out to reinvent the wheel and just stick to the design style that's worked for em all this time.
