The Subaru WRX hatchback is probably one of the best vehicles we can think of if you're running from hordes of the undead--but it's a curious choice for a marketing campaign given its lame-duck status thanks to the intro of the new Impreza. The choice of the WRX as the go-anywhere, escaping-Zombies vehicle of choice in the company's lineup wasn't Subaru's, strictly speaking, as the video below was put together by Reed Street Productions to promote a Subaru-sponsored charity run, but it points up the fact that while we have a new Impreza tooling about, word on the future of the WRX and WRX STI...

Delay after delay of Alfa Romeo's return to the U.S. may have you despondent that we'll ever see the new breed of Alfa on our streets, most especially, the gorgeous and very high-performance 4C. Unfortunately, this video is only likely to make the pain grow stronger. Complete with a mocking sound track that repeats "All we need is an answer," (why, yes, Alfa, we DO need an answer: when!?) the Alfa 4C shows its stuff in slightly squeezed-aspect video that does nothing to strip the car of its bountiful pulchritude. For more on the 200-plus-horsepower, sub-1,800-pound mid-engined, carbon fiber...

Porsche's 7-Speed Manual Transmission, The Yeti, And Double Rainbows: VideoThere are a lot of strange, unexplained things in the world. Some of them have been caught on video.
