Whoa, damn, the "rs" looking one (without the hood scoop) looks really bad, the STI version is kinda weird, but I think it will grow on me. Also the tails are very ricey looking. Imho. I don't know if factory tails can be ricey, I just hope they're prototypes.

I like it, it will grow on me. Once one is done up, I'm sure it will look pretty hot.

They should add some side wings, then when you're driving this thing, you just turn on your nawz and fly over the traffic.

The one mongo sized wing was already bad enough. Adding a second wing is repulsive. From just these pics, thumbs down. I'll have to see one in person.

Overall I like it ...

It has that Impreza/Legacy Bond going on

**EDIT**

And the RS has that 3 Series (BMW) thing going

The RS looks to much like a Altima.

They need to fire their entire design department.

I think this is the cause of one individual. Subaru hired some designer that I believe used to design for Alpha Romeo. This is the result: "Gee I can't think of anything else so I'll just stick the alpha nose on it"

Not that I really mind the design that much, but couldn't he do something original?
