What on earth do YOU think of the MY2001 ??

You must have seen one, or technical information on it by now...Considering the WRC championship.

General consensus, (and I don't think I'm sticking my neck out here), is no matter how good it is dynamically...It looks like a baboons ****, and won't sell for toffee !

Shame.

You're not wrong! If the recent pics in autocar are correct, someone has been hitting it with the ugly stick (hard!)
Should do no end for resale values of the old shape though!

Cool

When we did our tour of Prodrive , they had one ( MY 2001 ) on site for preparatory work for the WRC but we were not allowed to see it.

Had a quick chat with my local dealer about the new car, seems they've had a number of customers come in and say how dissapointed they are with the proposed new model !

Major pity, as I was going to buy the new model next summer ... hey ho STI type R here
I come

Maybe so many people willl stay away from Mr Ugly and thus prices will drop and I'll be able to buy a brand new scooby!

Saloon is a bit ugly though, don't think an ugly stick was used, more like a whole forest of Ugly trees.
Think the Wagon looks ok, but what do you expect from a Wagon owner, we've not exactly got could taste to start off with

Guess that tinted windows will be standard, so as allow the owner to hide from the public as they fall about laughing when they see the car.

I rather think I was a bit naive to get someone from Prodrive to comment on the MY2001. Despite their postings on Prodrive business on other threads...

Let's hope they had a liquid lunch and feel a bit more like making waves this arvo!
