Just been to power station today and cliff and I were in agreement on the looks of the new shape. we liked some bits, hated others, but overall its 
However not everyone will like it.
The spec C was a great car, but i am sorry, for an extra £1000 and all the stuff you get stripped out, thin glass, bare boot etc.no thanks !!
The Sti on the other hand is very nice
Agree with some of the points above, ugly rear, big *** badge, no burble ,no improvement on the interior.
once again subaru has made a car that will divide us lot down the middle
(so no change there...)
oh and if you were wondering on what we shall call it (as most of the new models have been named after the lights ) well if you look closely at the bulge on the lights we have the name
FishEye
(though V5 man had his own name...Jap's eye dont see that one catching on somehow)

As for the burble, well mine sounds like a rally car, the older models sound like a vw beetle gone wrong
but its the way to go, and even with the cat i still get pops n bangs out of my Spec C (standard exhaust!) Tony

When you see this car in the flesh, some of the doubters *may* change their minds...... I did!
I took the car out for a test drive last week and gave it a bit of a pounding, and was very impressed (thanks to Litchfields)!
Now..... it's got to be a Spec C thats taken for granted, but shall I have the RA this time!?! 
Cracking bit's of kit!
Regards,
Shaun.
