The WRC wing would look pretty mean but I think it would take too much away from the rearward visibility. It would be nice if they came out with an all-out version (Spec C Type RA-R?) that had the wing on it.





I am glad that the STI has non-bolt-on visual components. That means that you won't be seeing any 'STI' looking WRXs rolling around anymore. But I bet that someone will make a STI sedan using the front fenders, bumper cover, and side skirts and then make their own rear portion. That would look pretty mean too.

 

I think this thing is badass. I much prefer the utilitarian aspect of hatchbacks rather than boring *** sedans with big wings on 'em. Aside from the clear taillights, I'm really digging it. I guess I'm just a Subaru fan at heart rather than the "what's the coolest car going right now".

Oh, and did anyone else notice the "cage" in the blue/black car?

I like this wing. Regarding the rear visibility issue, that's what side mirrors are for with the little bubble sticky dome mirror you can get from Walmart.

 

Yep and recaro seats.

And I agree, everything doesn't have to be a sedan.. hell look at the 2008 Audio RS6 will have 500+ HP in that thing.

 

I'm thinking there probably will be an RA-R but Japan only.

 

OOh I just noticed in that pic, I see 6 pot front brakes too. Now that I think about it though, this may be the Spec-C model or some other model tho not the general version STi.

 

ill be back in oahu in january and thinking MAYBE ill save up and trade in my 04 for it... maybe... save me one.

 

I dont mind the tail lights it kinda reminds me of the Tribeca... the car just looks weird cause its not drop and theres no body kit haha... ^^ hay but in the end you know it looks way more better then Focus and Mazd 3.... just look at them fenders dam thats crazy. just wait alittle.

 

I've noticed that most people just care about the looks of the car.

While looks count to some degree, I really care about the performance over looks. The media is speculating 320/320 hp/tq, it weighs less, has a revised rear susp, and is much more practical.

I hope that people continue to be critical about the looks of the car so that it affects sales. That way, it will be easier and cheaper to obtain. :P
