Have you seen the new wing on the Monty Impreza ? It looks rediculous, but if it helps win rallys I will start loving it and put one on my car

yeah, definetly a funky design. but it must have some obvious benefits to the car. and yeah, lets hope the new car doesn't have any bugs to be worked out during the season. start out strong, and finish strong. its Petters year!!

The latest rally Impreza looks like a Honda with a piece of farm equipment on the trunk. Last years headlights were better too. I hope the car is really fast because it will be hard for me to route for something this funky looking.

As usual the car looks like no other car out there. which is something i feel Subaru's are known for. i don't really understand the honda light reference. but o well. i think the car is pretty sweet, just b/c it is different. i think it will look pretty darn good sitting in the winners circle this year!!

Look at the mirrors too, it's a lot edgier and smaller.

Makinen and Solberg both out!!! makinen goes off the road in ss5 and can't get back on, while solberg damages his radiator after going off. and whats with gronholm leading.... the guy says how much he hates the course, and it's not a test of driving skill. and now he leads by 37 sec. this is going to be an interesting race.

Dang it, Citroen has the Top 3, a Ford, and theres still three other Pugs in the points. How come they have so many cars??? Even without Granholm and Panizzi, they still make some significant points.
