Not sure what to think. Certain parts look good; others, not so much. Doesn't make me think WRX though...

I don't think it's ugly enough. Classics wrx looks like nothing special and a tad ugly and that, for me, made it ok to thrash it up and down logging roads. This new one looks too pretty to be a wrx. Still prefer the classic look.

I'm interested to see what the actual STI will look like (mainly the spoiler since the body will be the same)

may be the STI trim will make it look much better...got any specs?
looks similar to the BRZ Concept which doesn't look very rally-inspired

I still remember when the facelifted 2nd gen and 3rd gen came out everyone was crying about how atrocious they look...

not too bad at all, quite a different look they're going for here compared to the last one, but I think I like it :megusta:

I could not agree more. Every time I think of a wrx, I think of car that can run along with off-roaders on trails, through bushes, snow and through deserts. Kinda like what Hammond did in the latest Top Gear special. This on the other hand is too pretty to be thrown into the wild. I mean, you would not take a BMW 335xi on trails.. I'm sure it will hold up and do just fine, but why...

I think it looks great. much easier on the eye than current gen. I still don't like the current gen. and it took me a while to like the pig nose hawk eye

I really don't like the direction of styling cars are going in now : / too futuristic-ish , this wrx concept also ..not to mention doesn't look very good

its either buying the 06-07 and 2011+ year sti. maybe this new one can also be consider getting. but i guarantee you the production model will not look ANYTHING like this concept...except the grille.

The only thing I like about this concept are the enormous brakes... But I doubt the production model would be like this. The BRZ sti concept is beautiful though!

no..they're too commercialized now..kinda like how people say musicians are great and then start to produce music just because the mass people like it instead of what made it famous in the first place type of thing... (for example subaru with the dial and stuff for changing etc like bmw and mercedes)..just my opinion

don't like it, doesn't scream out bad ass or aggressive like the other subaru's

like many of you guys, it looks too streamlined and not utilitarian to live up to the WRX/STi badging.

I like the car though. Has a Kia Forte'ish profile to it and that's not a bad looking car IMO

It looks like a very nice car. Nice lines, aggressive stance.

So, it looks like a very nice car...for a Toyota.

People look to Subaru to be a little different. It should have lines, and features that are in line with other manufacturers, but different. Otherwise, you'd just buy a Toyota.

To paraphrase Jeremy Clarkson in regards to Citroen, there should be a panel you lick to start the engine, and a celery stalk for the turn signal indicator. It should just be different and unique.

This looks too pleasing in the regular sense.

Ya, I miss when Subaru sold HEAVILY modded cars with unbelievable photography and photoshopping as well.

To me, this new concept is the final nail in the coffin for Subaru's rally heritage. :(
Wheel base looks too long, car too big. I can't imagine this car rallying.

And that is why the Evo X is the last evolution of the line up! Get yours while you still can! All the "evo's" that are coming will have some kind of hybrid technology.
