Eh, I just wanted to take out the watermelon frame which is clearly BS. Who is denying facts? The wikipedia article said nothing about rally. The only thing I deleted was this..

"Due to the increase in stiffness, the car has much better stability in corners and is easier to control at the limit."

Which is VERY debatable. I just said that safety was the primary reason that they stiffened the chassis which I stand by. Undoubtedly Subaru gets design input from Prodrive but I'd like to point out the GD chassis has been much much less successful than the GC in WRC. So either Prodrive got it wrong or Subaru was really driven towards consumer safety.

What exactly are you refering to? That was a lot of bitching about there being no more 2 door.
