Led Zepplin said it best, "The song remains the same." Especially if you’re an American fan of good old station wagons. You’re looking at the just-released-to-our-shepherd’s-pie-eating-brethren 2010 Subaru Legacy Wagon and we (yet again) can’t have it. Wah.

- Video: Ken Block and Travis Pastrana’s Stupid Human Tricks
We’ve seen Ken Block and his gang of misfits perform plenty of crazy cool stunts in their Crawford-built 2009 Subaru WRX STI.

This ad is from Australia, and features a creepy-looking, limping drifter guy prowling the roads late at night. Then a guy in a Suburu pulls to the side of the road to give the guy a lift and then…well, see for yourself. I think the ad is well-done up to a certain point, but not [...]
