I saw spyshots posted somewhere of the production model and was dissapointed. Hopefully they deliver something that looks like this. I am somewhat considering a new car but am waiting for something around 30-40k to grab my interest. This migt do it. ---

just add 5 inches of wheel gap, one inch of panel gap, sprinkle some of their magic dust that makes all subarus start rusting instantly and hopefully we have the production model here. ---

I really like the concept… if I dont go luxo or they dont make the turbo BRZ in the next few years I will get this… but idk where the “huge improvement,” and “finally looks good” is coming from? Yeah theyre not for everyone and this is a much more agressive look compared to past models, but Subaru has always done a very nice and tasteful job of making their sport models simple yet agressive. If anything you can say this almost looks like a TC done right. Of course this is comming from Subaru Fanboi racer extraordinaire so im clearly biased lol ---

Yeah I’ve never had an issue with WRX styling, but this looks good. How watered down a production model will be has yet to be determined. ---

The 2.5rs was a very nicely done car. But all through the following years I liked them. I wasn’t such a fan of the recent wagon they had, but its definitely grown on me. I like what they did with the fenders of the car and maybe just me, but love the mud flaps you can get on those. This newest look, if they go through is a very good and completely new direction for the car. I’m sure it will litter the streets if they keep it. ---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ---------- > [@BigRon](#): > > Looks like the picture. > [http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?238655-OMG-WRX-Concept](http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?238655-OMG-WRX-Concept) On a side note, this would be classified as a repost then.

Screw you and your reality! If they look like this I may have to reconsider buying a truck and go with this instead. ---
