Other than being ugly, the car is an improvement in terms of quality and drivability.
I could be wrong, but I'm 95% certain that the last WRX didn't share any body panels with the Impreza either. Honestly I wouldn't call this design "more aggressive" unless they're talking about the huge grill up front which juts out. And I don't call that aggressive, I call it sloppy. And I'd love to see documentation of buyers asking for unpainted plastic body cladding.
