Does look a bit naff, but got to hand it to the guy - doesn't look like he's done too bad a job on blending the Scooby parts on to the Pug.

Looks like a tidy conversion from the front. At least better than what Subaru themselves did in the late 90s with the round headlight variant.

Perhaps in an alternate reality, GM bought PSA. The mid size saloon was shared between Peugeot and Subaru, they both had rallying heritage and were known for their good handling saloon cars.
A 4x4 406 would be on the cards, a spiritual successor to the 405 4x4.

The 308 and the new Impreza would be essentially the same car.

607 and Legacy.

206/7 and Justy.

They would take the Impreza / 406 Coupe rallying. The Paninfarina design is a more attractive alternative to the 2 door Impreza.

Perhaps the owner is turning it into a scooby a bit at a time...

See the Saab 9-2X for details of how GM did it the other way.

I find that quite interesting, as the guys round the back of where I work break a lot of scoobies, and a few times i've had my car parked next to one of them and have often thought the scooby bumper looks like it would fit quite nicely

"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

It looks sh*t. But he has been realistic with the scooby kit, ie its scratched to shite.
A tank is the best job on that car.
