Yikes!
Also, where is that 8 hp? If I had to guess it would be mapping.
Wait, nevermind, I forgot about the rumored "2.5" aspect... Hmmm, better looks or *****in' motor?

The WRC version looks like something from the future.
The regular version looks like something from the ugly future.

Dual exhaust? Nooooooo...

Why do they think it's necessary to put a dual exhaust on a 4 banger? More weight and more money when you want to swap it out with a performance set up. I think it's so rediculous....I laughed my *** off when Honda put the twin pipes on the accord. These TINY little pipes that split into two exhaust outlets....how funny...I think the diameter of the pipes is only like 1.5 or 2 inches...I don't get it...

Believed to be the lovechild of Subaru's new Grecian chief of design, ex Alfa Romeo design guru Andreas Zapatinas, the front end incorporates a much more aggressive look that more closely resembles the Subaru Liberty/Legacy, particularly when you look at the headlight cluster.

I kinda liked this drawing:

But the back of the wombat picture looks awful. It looks like they didn't want to change the overall shape of the back end, but they wanted to change the tail lights, so they just made the tail lights smaller and didn't modify anything else to accomodate them, and that left too much empty space, so they just filled it in with badges and called it a day? WTF?!

The prius isn't ugly though. This thing is. Maybe the 5door will look better.
