Personally, I think it's a bit tacky/poser-ish to have quadpipes for a two litre, four cylinder engine. It's not like this is some large displacement V8 after all!

It flows with the STi pipes they have going on now. I think it looks great. I prefer the small quad to the large dual

Front grill is ugly but the rear tail lights are tight!
Exhaust looks killer!

The wing looks kinda stupid...but does make it look fast.

Yep, it almost spoils the whole car. Looks rediculous. If this STI-version is really coming into production, wing is fine. But it doesn't have to be airplanes horizontal stabilizer, something a little bit more reasonable would look ok.

I like it. I'll take a wing delete and a single exit exhaust, but aside from that, I love the rear. Color, too. And it's not a dirty Scion!

Could someone please put this BRZ in a picture side by side with the FRS/FT86 please. I actually like the more blant less agressive front, maybe because I like that smile instead of the fangs, but at the same time it does remind me of a Mazda 3. I sure hope the production lose the wing.

Oh, no question it looks gorgeous, just that there's no way a small-ish, naturally aspirated engine flows that much air so it's all look and not functional That said, maybe an STI version would be more powerful. And at least it's not a completely fake "exhaust finisher"

Agreed. The beauty of it is that it's in keeping with the STi "look" which has been lacking from the mules running around and that's what I find "nice" about it.

Overall though I much prefer the Toyota version; the only part of the Subaru I want are the tail lights which will be acquired easily from the dealership a few months after I buy the car.

Nice concept. Too bad it's about as realistic as the FR-S concept we were shown. Well, alright, maybe a little bit more realistic. Bring on the production model!

On a side note, how many other cars in history have had four different concepts?

Concept only. I think it's safe to say that every body panel will be different on the production model. Putting "STI" on there gives them the excuse to rice/sport it up with a big wing, wheels, brakes, etc.

I don't understand the tiny side mirrors. Why put them on at all if they're so small? (for the concept anyways)

What I do see that's interesting is the flat black roof. Might have to get my roof wrapped if it looks that nice in person blacked out.

Loving the WR Blue Pearl II color. Why no gold rims???

The last Sti Sedan didn't have gold rims either if I remember correctly :o
