Besides, that pic looks like every other photochoped magazine pic that has been coming out, its a waste of time to even look at it, just wait for the unveiling or get a job with SOA...

it could look better if they took the wing off from below the rear window. However, I'm saying it right here, right now (although I already said it in Starbizzle on Saturday) if they release that, I'm going with an Evo X

A hatch is no problem. I drive one... but this design sucks. But as we all know, the commitees and bean counters will swallow this puppy and spit out a 'safe' version of this design anyway!

That is such a horrible p-chop, I can't believe you guys are even talking about it. The "design" is terribly disjointed. This is an "artist's" "representation" of what someone told someone else's sister's ex-roommate's brother's cousin's gardener.
The tail pipes and the wheels are horribly off scale. Oh, god, and look how ****-eyed the rear wheel is in the wheel well. Look how narrow they made it. It looks like a Kia. Whoever p-choped this at R&T should be fired.

It has B5 concept pilars, an STI spoiler stretched on there, the WRX hatch, STI wheels, STI mufflers with an STI diffuser, horribly choped in tail lights from I have no idea what, and a super smudged rear bumper...
It really is the worst concept chop ive seen.
