A RWD 2.5T would be an awesome car, but i expect a lot of dodoheads burning out, giving subaru+toyota a bad reputation. I'd be quite interested though. Good find, walt.

Thanks Chris!! Gotta thank jinorazi!! I agree with you,all the noob heads & young boys straight outta highschool will purchase this and act a fool on the road.. And our name will be soiled..

But on another, this is quite interesting to see its final stage. and I wonder how SWRT will employ this in their line up. Maybe 3 rally cars instead of two.. Elway, heres your chance to rally professionally!!

We'll see how it looks when the final version comes out. Personally, if it looks like a 2-door hatch/ 3-door STi, I won't be there.

Is it me or is there just too much "chiseling" on the body panels??? The Suby's are already rather "ugly" to begin with...you know with the big scoop and tall wing. It seems that Subaru makes no attempt to clean up the lines of their designs.

Just my opinion, but flame away if you disagree.

BTW I'm not a hater, I own an STi.

This second version looks even worse, it looks like the new design of the Hyundai Tiburon or the current Accord Coupe.

The chiseling reminds me of the newer Celicas..

Not sure about that, the p1 has its own distinct aura.. Looks like an '08 STi with similiar side panel design from the Volkswagen concept car w12 GTI. But to each his own!
