no matter what the bodystyle, the engine layout is still the same, but hopefully the handling characteristics step it up a notch- tired of the evos getting all the points for handling. plus i'd like to see a 330hp motor
as far as toyota being the major shareholder... i guess you can say so... assuming they got the remaining 11 percent of GM's shares... which places them at around 20 percent of fuji heavy's stock...

no interchangeable hood scoop? rear bumper looks pretty nice.. tail lights are suck..
Wing is subjective.. I have to see it up close..
the front end looks pretty amazing though, lots of room for a fatty FMIC
overall a nice car.. something i'd buy.. but not something i'd sell my 05 to buy...

Really looks like a shark now. Not bad, I like the big ol' rally wing. I hope they rework the engine especially the header-uppipe-turbo department to shorten the turbo lag.

Personally I don't care if it reminds other cars ... it looks hot, that's what most important. I'd take this any day over a bugeyed WRX that doesn't look like anything else on the road.

It is definitely sleeker than the current model. There are no pronounced wheel arches, the scoop seems to be molded into the hood. And the overall tolerances of the gaps seem to be more precise. It definitely looks great as a four-door, but would totally rock as a coupe.

seems like i'm the only person who doesn't like it. i don't know, in my mind it looks to futuristic. i liked the simplicity of the older models. (blobeyes and back. though i'm not hating on the angel eyes, just on a fan.)
