I think the current Impreza is one of the ugliest cars on the road so I didn't have much hope for the WRX despite the decent looking concept shown a few weeks back. These photos just confirmed my fears...they took the base Impreza and added a hood scoop, large rear wing spoiler, and some small fender flares (just like they always do). So much for the WRX separating from the Impreza line.

I was really hoping for a 3 door hatch STi to show Subaru was serious about taking the STi back to it's rally roots. I wanted something that looked similar to a Citroen DS3 WRC, Peugeot 208 Type R5, Volkswagen Polo R WRC, or Ford Fiesta RS WRC, but instead the camoed car looks like what a refreshed EVO X would become. Nothing wrong with focusing on a street performance sedan but it's just not what I was looking for. Maybe next time Subaru but I'll sit this generation out.
