Damn...that is cool.  Even stock that'd be one hell of a swap in an old car, for the looks alone.  Surely it sounds good with an exhaust, right?

Honda: the Civic Type R holds the established record for the ugliest back end on any modern production car.  Subaru: hold my beer. 

Sofyan gives is a good (good?) long look at it here:

I guess any parent that has ever seen their toddler waddle around with a full poopy diaper can relate to the design inspiration. 

The rest of the car looks pretty good though.  I like the wide, low, muscular stance.  Strangely, I don't mind the '90s Jeep bare plastic cladding.  My brain is telling my eyes they should hate it, but my eyes are like, nah, itsorright.

I spit my coffee out over the toddler remark.  That was pure gold.

Making the Recaros and dynamic dampers available only with the CVT is one of the dumbest things imaginable.

WRX STi dead….

It's almost like they want it to die 

I don't get Subaru....to bring customers to the brand, which basically sells bland but capable crossovers, you have two draws: one, the reputation of the AWD capability, and two, the fact that maybe boy racers who grew up driving or idolizing the WRX and rallying will be loyal to the brand.  The current path they are headed down is strange.

Not only did they kill the real spirit of STI, they also trampled on his corpse.
