Too small for WRC duties me thinks. Where would you put a spare?

That thing is much prettier than anything Subaru's put forth since the RS IMHO. Hopefully the Subaru version won't disappoint!

Will this production actually look like that do you think? I hope they don't change it a bit.

It's the first car in a while ive seen that is in a reasonable price range, that I actually want.

My exact thoughts, Krinkov is high. This thing has crossfire written all over it. Those "fender vents" are hideous. Not very impressed other than the front end.

Honestly, if you can't tell how the head lights and front end are totally modeled after the LFA, with definitely resemblance of the new 370z.

You aren't high, you are just plain retarded.

I agree. That is one of the best looking cars that has been released in a while. Very nice at all angles, IMO.

This will definitely draw a larger audience...may pull sales from potential G35/Z owners.

Don't get mad about the people hating on the car... They are jealous.

Crossfire?

Not even close... Looks like a Cayman f***ed a 370z. (I hope my children are as beautiful!)

He never said he didn't like the front end. In fact that is the only part that he IS impressed by as stated in his post.
