Amazing once you hunker it down, give it a spoiler and a few air intakes along with a decent paint job.

IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE ON THE THE WAY.

Guys, remember that this is a rally concept. As an avid WRC fan, I can tell you that Aero and body styling in the world of WRC has very little to do with aesthetics. It’s all purely functional, and a lot of it will never see the light of day on a street car. And they don’t need much rearward visibility either.

Sharpie,

It’s probably because the spoiler blocks more than half the rear window. While It looks cool, it is a hazard for the driver.

At least the Cobalt and G5 look good in this category. Subarus are ugly and some of the worst built POS cars out there. No amount of stickers and decals can hide that fact.

Something about that spoiler I don’t like

Cue the gran turismo music.

I like subarus, because they’re tough

Looks happily less chunky and funky. But niche fans of the car will hate it as shown in some of the above comments. I like it, even as a sport hatch. I’d buy one, though I’m not sure about the graphics.

Ok, maybe its grown on me a little. But that might be because we can’t see the grille that all in all these pics.

I’ve never really liked the look of any Impreza, but they’ve always been high on my list of fun, fast rides. Besides, WRC rules.

facelift the front and give it red rear lights. Otherwise not that bad looking

Sidebar: Does anyone know where to get WRC videos? Duke Video used to sell them, but now they are not in the US DVD format.

Looks like everything on it is stapled on. Lordy, I miss the good old Group B days, when cars would plow into the crowds…

Looks better than standard. But still ugly as hell.

mmm tasty. bring the STi as is, minus the decals. oooh.

LLN: it’s “peek” in that context, not “peak”.

Interesting it’s a hatchback as they are usually sedans. Reminds me of the Focus rally car.

Once upon a time the impreza was the best looking vehicle in the WRC. Times have changed… Hopefully for Subaru’s sake, it wins races, cause it sure won’t win the hearts of the fans. I can’t wait to see Mitsubihi’s WRC car.

Yeah, it’s ugly. I think only subaru could make a 5 door hatchback look this bad-ass. I hope the street version STI has similar flared fenders.

THe grill and the taillights are the fatal errors. Otherwise the car is OK
