The WRC wing would look pretty mean but I think it would take too much away from the rearward visibility. It would be nice if they came out with an all-out version (Spec C Type RA-R?) that had the wing on it.
I am glad that the STI has non-bolt-on visual components. That means that you won't be seeing any 'STI' looking WRXs rolling around anymore. But I bet that someone will make a STI sedan using the front fenders, bumper cover, and side skirts and then make their own rear portion. That would look pretty mean too.

I think this thing is badass. I much prefer the utilitarian aspect of hatchbacks rather than boring *** sedans with big wings on 'em. Aside from the clear taillights, I'm really digging it. I guess I'm just a Subaru fan at heart rather than the "what's the coolest car going right now".
Oh, and did anyone else notice the "cage" in the blue/black car?

Car Info: STi (cornering, accelerating and braking hard).
I like this wing. Regarding the rear visibility issue, that's what side mirrors are for with the little bubble sticky dome mirror you can get from Walmart.

Car Info: Version 7.5 2002 STi
OOh I just noticed in that pic, I see 6 pot front brakes too. Now that I think about it though, this may be the Spec-C model or some other model tho not the general version STi.

I've noticed that most people just care about the looks of the car.
While looks count to some degree, I really care about the performance over looks. The media is speculating 320/320 hp/tq, it weighs less, has a revised rear susp, and is much more practical.
I hope that people continue to be critical about the looks of the car so that it affects sales. That way, it will be easier and cheaper to obtain. :P
