Default sorry,dont like the look of wr1!!

saw one in the flesh today, and although the spec sheet is fantastic, i think subaru are mad in going for the ice blue, why didnt they go for white,or red,those havent been done before(special editions i mean),and what is that chrome grill!! looks way too max power.

as jeremy clarkson once said about the scorpio,great car from the drivers seat...you cant see the outside...
if you own one enjoy it but it is not my cup of tea!

regards
dave

Josh bought his one around yesterday with 70 miles on the clock (picked it up that pm). The colour imho looks a lot better than in the pictures i saw from the autosport show.

I think it looks great, only think not sure about is the bottom front grill & the dodgy wr1 stickers 7 mats

I dont think it looks anything special and the colour doesen`t do the car any favours.

The Wr1 should of been something special and in a 2-door.

The gearknob is nice

Why do these anoraks come on slagging the wr1,no one is forcing anyone to buy one,if you dont like dont buy.Isnt this a subaru enthusiasts site,I cant see the point in slagging someone elses choice of scoob.

With respect m8 I know all about the t25 and if I wanted one I would have bought one but the wr1 suits my preferences,I am sure most people weigh up the options before parting with 30k and then make the choice that suits them.

oooh, seem to have touched a few raw nerves, as i said in the original post i think on paper it looks fantastic, but in the flesh it is the wrong colour for a special edition commemorating petters wrc crown,in the rufty tufty world of rally cars, pastel blue doesnt do it for me.
gmj,your right i wouldnt buy one, and i am not slagging the car,i am just puting my opinion across
brun,your right too,ice blue hasnt been done, but the point i was making as im sure you know is that a more racey colour such as red or white would be more appropriate.

colour is a personal choice,when i see the metailic red on a classic,i think it looks nice, but i wouldnt have one in that colour,i like the sheep i am had one in DBM!

regards

I was a little concerned about the colour, not that I wouldn't like it but wether it would be too 'soft' and not striking enough. IMO its stunning and in everyone else's opinion who I have spoken to. In the sunshine, especially, it stands out head and heels from the crowd. So much so, I'm getting really quite embarrassed with all the looks and ppl pointing Admittedly girls do seem to like the colour more then the lads do (there a lot more vocal anywayz) but is that really a bad thing? I'm thinking not!
I may be a little biased, but the colour gets a double thumbs up from me
Everyone to their own
