THE STI VERSION OF THIS THING LOOKS FUCKIN HOT !

This looks like the BMW X6 “coupe”, if they made such a thing.. or, like the X6 and a 1980 AMC Spirit had a love child.

Most of the politicians in Britain get Jags and Range Rovers though.

This thing looks sweet, I love Subaru’s. Just came from a police confrence in the UK, and those guys use Subaru Sti’s, EVO’s, 5 series BMW with the M5 V8 engine, but all the UK cops love the Subaru which they call “scooby” Looking at our cop cars, I must say I’m disapointed when comparing what I saw in the UK.

A cheaper lighter Subaru STI is always welcome. Who cares if it looks ugly… Subaru was never about looks.

Why do people on here always think that rendering shows what a car will be?

Which means I love it and I want to get it on a gravel fire road.

That’s a good point, F451… in that case it reminds me of a Group B rally car from the naughty ’80s.

Looks cool.

The designers at Subaru aren’t this creative. That picture is one beautiful looking car and I doubt that their next coupe would look half as amazing.

Mr.meanpants, but this is a Sutobayoruta…you shouldn’t have any problems.

Yeah, that’s what I meant to say. What inline6 and RaineMan said. It really does look just like a 2dr Impreza hatch. However if Subaru could offer it like at 18-19k base I would maybe consider looking into one.

I like its bulldog toughness, but after owning two Subarus, I’ll have to pass.

johnnycanuck, that would be Clooney’s problem not mine

i really like that. when lln said it had a sti-look front end, i was scared, but they pulled it off very well.

the overall shape reminds me of the euro civic type-r.

By: RaineMan

RaineMan — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:54:15 +0000

So I was right. It is just an Impreza coupe… and it’ll probably end up costing more than the Impreza itself. Nothing special to see here folks… move along.

This thing looks like a photoshopped ’08 WRX STi.

I’ll bet that’s exactly what it is.

That wasn’t caught on camera; it was caught on photoshop.
.
And quite poorly too. It looks like a 3rd grader design. Honestly, the Genesis Coupe looks far better.

Thanks livelyjay.

xyunya: if this looks like a circumsized Imprezza then get the knife because I’m about to look like George Clooney.

If you click the link, take out everything after the “.jpg” and you can see it. It’s a rendering, not a real photo. Too bad they won’t be marketing it under the Toyota brand as this could be the rebirth of the MR2. It will never be a sub-$20k car, but will likely aim for Miata/Solstice (base model) pricing. If they get the suspension right it could do extremely well in that market.

Yeah it totally looks like it 02WRXPSM. Ok so why can’t Subaru get away from the hatch/wagon look?? They come out with a “coupe” or say they are and it ends up looking like a 2dr Mazda 3? I’m glad the Toyota version isn’t coming stateside if it’s going to be another 3dr hatch.

I’ve been in visual effects for years, and good friends of mine are senior engineers at rainbow studios. We all say that photo is a render, not an actual image.

By: Need4SSpeed

Need4SSpeed — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 19:16:55 +0000

yeah, wtf, It also won’t work for me when I click the link. I’m using Firefox I wonder if it’s the browser…

Well from the top image it looks interesting from the portion I can see. Doesn’t look too bad but I need to see more.

Looks like circumcized Imprezza

the link didn’t work for me but the LLN thumbnail says enough. I already like it. They might as well have said, though, that it would be a 3 door Impreza & I would have gotten the hint.

Ummm….. that’s a rendering. Not a photo.

hooooooooleeeeee schiltz. You mean the Japenese finally found out that it was possible to make a NON 4-door car?

I do like it, would like to see more photos.
