Sadly, I think it would ruin the lines of the car. The WRX pulls it off because it's the automotive equivalent to a pug: it's just so damned ugly that it's cute.

This car is sleek. The WRX hoodscoop would be the visual equivalent of giving your greyhound a body length mohawk.

Methinks this particular vehicle is just much better suited for supercharging. If electric superchargers go mainstream, I would think that would be the perfect application for this vehicle.

Besides, with an electric supercharger, couldn't you impliment much better electronic controls to vary boost pressure in accordance with engine RPM, and allow a higher charge while maintaining durability?
