Sadly for Subaru, the Kia Magentis-based Mediocrity is a better balanced and more attractive design than the horrible 2010 Legacy they're selling off the back of this 'fight against beige' ad' campaign. Nice try!

Hey it's got a 2.2 4-cyl, bet it goes some! And a 2-DIN CD player. Shame about the Motorworld trims.

Spoof grill aside, it appears thoroughly acceptable to me. If they'll do one on £1 down, £99 a month 0% finance, then I'd sign right now.

Only if it's beige though.

As I've said before, possibly ad nauseam it's much more acceptable than the HIDEOUS new Legacy

The magentis may be mediocre. But mediocre is good. Mediocre is individualism these days. Pleasing blandness in a sea of fugliness. I've spent the evening looking at epicas on ebay though, so my sense of realitymay be slightly skewed...

I think the Magentis (and Mediocrity) look pretty good, much better than that Subaru thing.

I hope you found some WOLSELY SIX-aping ones.

Magentises are actually bloody good cars. Yes the interior is a bit grey and the plastics slightly low-rent, but other than that they're as good as anything Japanese, they're surprisingly agile for such a big car and the V6 versions go like stink. Although I'd be the first to admit that they're not the most characterful of machines.

The Mediocrity looks ace! Loving the squared off coor handles.

 

I wonder if Kia's lawyers will be contacting Subaru any time soon?

I dont mind most Subarus. Even the new Impreza could be worse and the saloon improves it. The Legacy is acceptable - I've seen a lot worse anyway.

 

However, my boss got a new car a couple of weeks ago. In the past he's had a 996 Turbo, RR Sport Supercharged, TVR Chim etc.. What's he got now? A fucking Subaru Outback and it's bloody disgusting:

 

 

From some angles it just gets away with it yet from others it is hideous. The wank 'arches' look even worse than those on recent MBs

It's really sad because the old shape Legacy was quite a pretty car.

Hear, hear! Mind you, even the new one is better than the "Mediocrity"... but Scooby badly need to nick Peter Schreyer from Kia. The latest big(ish) Kias are actually seriously sharp, taut-looking, even (dare I say it) classy cars! Look at the new Optima, for a start...
