Cool concept car

Looks very Italian, and I don't mean a Ferrari. Now instead of copying the Alpha Romeo front grill, Subaru is just going to copy everything else but the grill?
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.

Yeah, I don't like it very much. Maybe a good approach for something different down the road, but to release the car like that...

Ah, I need to see it in person. I'm sure the color doesn't help to sell the new look.

I like the new body style.

I know that the existing WRX STi is a powerhouse of an automobile that a lot of people aspire to, but it's wrapped in a 4 door sedan body that originally came out 1992. It has 4 doors yet its interior is smaller than the Focus.

I like the practicality of a hatch when you driving a sportier type of car. I have owned a 2 seat sports car that was fun to drive but couldn't carry sh*t. One time at the CNE, I won a big stuffed animal. It was so big it would not fit into the trunk of my sports car. I had to drive home on the highway with this huge stuffed animal stuck half out of the sunroof. :lol:

looks like the front end needs some mascara and a touch of lipstick...

it's looks scare me from coming down from my perch upon this fence, so I'm not sure if I like it or hate it...
