Have you noticed all those pictures are from the front. I bet the back looks like a dogs dinner.

...maybe so, but it looks a darn sight better looking than the hatch.

The whole thing looks like a dog's dinner, after it's been eaten!

Looks "lumpy" to me, not keen at all. A big spoiler would look ridiculous due to the shape of the back. The boot isn't big enough to carry it off. I liked discreet in the old cars, hence my car, but this is just non-descript.

Dont like that at all. Like the hatch, I think it would only look decent in STI form

I can't believe some people are saying that looks OK - it's truly HORRIBLE, and that's coming from someone who doesn't think the hatchback is all that bad (in STI form that is). It looks like a Hyundai Accent crossed with some vile Kia or suchlike. It's even in Hyundai silver! Really, really bad...

Better than the hatch, kit it up and it would out sale the hatch I am sure. Subaru need to listen to its customer before they are driven to other marques............

Whether we can get it or not depends IMO on whether they'll sell it in any other RHD market. If you want it, go ask Mr Litchfield.

If they made the saloon with the huge arches that the hatch has, and a massive rear spoiler, it would be very sexy!

Given it's a WRX saloon, it looks miles better than the WRX hatch.

With the flared arches and bumpers from the STi, together with a bigger spoiler; it may get to the point where it looks acceptable.
