get a few rear badges, and a spoiler, and for me, that would be the absolute nuts.

very nice car either way! im rather tempted by one of these

They look like most other modern saloon cars from the side and back. Any plans to modify the bodywork?

I think you're earning to much money out of us broke scooby owners!

I think it's time to take some measurements and start knocking up some splitters etc!

P.S get rid of those ****ty exhausts, they don't even reach the end of the bumper, and will soon deposit some nice black sooty marks all over your clean car!

IMO its horrible, after the hawk eye model, styling for subaru went **** up!!!! its totally lost that aggressive rally look that we all fell in love with, and for most (inc the sheer power) was the biggest selling point. it looks just like the rest of the new cars that are rolling off the production lines today....could i see myself owning 1 of these in the foreseeable future NO!!!!! MY GRANDAD MIGHT THO

Will reserve judgement until I've seen what the spoiler looks like. I think it'd look better in black though.

No sorry can't hold off. The exhaust isn't right, the wheels are too small and too narrow for those arches. The back looks like it's been kicked up the **** then just smoothed over with filler to give a "straight" look. The wing mirrors are a rediculous size too, just like the hatch. I think I've finally found a car that the hatch looks better than. This looks ok with my eyes shut though.
