seriously, c'mon now people... do you honestly think they would put something out with unlevel doors and with tons of gaps/hardly any symmetry on the body??
I know it wasn't Subaru's fault but the Aztec did make it to market....

yes, the aztec was ugly as sin but at least it was symmetric and had level doors.

this car obviously (at least to some) has camo pieces hiding body lines, changing the look of the head and tail lights, adding a fake wing, etc... i just can't believe people are falling for it. IMO i think the coupe is gonna end up looking like a 11+ wrx sedan with two doors instead of 4 and with the back end shortened.

The FT-86 G'z concept I think is what this one is called.

Exactly.

No one can see the real lines of this car at all. And the WRX hood (obviously mismatched) is probably a joke on the public by the Subaru engineers.

The spy photos tell us nothing except this: it's coming.

You guys need to realize/remember that the car isn't going to look ANYTHING like this... They basically threw on a bunch of random body panels so that people wouldn't be able to figure out what it looked like before it was released. I doubt those wheels will even come standard on it.

Yes, but it shows a direction for the hardware underneath. People want a sooperdooper STi coupe, but for $20k. Looks like (right now) more of an Impreza coupe that'll be at least $25k due to the extended development period.

It's not feasible to offer an STi in coupe, sedan, and hatchback form. I don't even think it's working out as it is with the sedan and hatchback (wrx or sti) right now either.
