Yeah, that pic was released on Monday I think.

Looks terrible to me.

I had very high expectation on this car too..

Back end looks off. Needs to be more aggressive.

My problem with it is that it has similar body shape of a civic.

This. The back end, especially, reminds me of the Civic.

Fuji Heavy Industries - does not sound like they would have top notch designers.

A fully loaded sti will probably be over 40k which in that case, I'd look into other cars

Better than the current generation

But the front end, to me, screams Mercedes CLA. Not in a good way.

Not really. I think it's an improvement over the current version. But not quite there. I think I have to wait and see what they do to the Legacy before rendering a verdict. I like the Levorg look, and that I think will be the next Legacy.

The front end is ok. Doesn't make me lust for it. It's the rear that's the killer.

That expresses exactly how I feel about it... I was confused when I saw the production WRX, I started looking for this thread thinking "wait, so if THAT's the new WRX which one was the concept again?"

Sigh...

Hopefully the concept will live on in GT6.

2015 Subaru WRX STI
From Jalopnik:
The new 2015 Subaru WRX STI is here, and it looks like it's business as usual. Four doors, a giant wing, golden wheels, rally blue paint with a bit of pink, around 300 horses from a boxer engine and a manual gearbox. Hooray!P

The engine in question is supposed to be a 2.5-liter instead of a 2.0, but we will only know for sure after its debut on the 14th at the Detroit Auto Show.

I'd actually rock the STi. The regular WRX, not so much. It's been looking more and more tame like the Legacy.

But really, I'm sure millions of aftermarket parts will come out to make it look a little more "right".

It'll drive like heaven as usual, that's for sure.

STI looks fine. Better than most weird Japanese designs these days. Sure the wing is OTT but what do you expect from an STI.
