You know, the GC coupe body WRX's were and still are dead sexy. The GD's a close second. The GR on the WRX is okay but looks better (but still not as good as the GD) on the STI.

If they won't go with the WRX concept, at least go back to the GC coupe! Still just as ugly as the 2015 WRX, but ugly like an A-10, not bland like a Civic or Corolla.

I dont know about you, but for me I see the BR-Z is so out of place in the Subaru line up. Most of their Vehicles are Boxy, and Muscular...the BR-Z is so Sleek, and Sharp.

It is just weird.

I realized that today, because I came to a Local Subaru dealer. I drove around the Lot, and I saw the BR-Z as a Goose within a whole Pack of Ducks

LOL!

It is weird, but it fills a gap subaru was lacking. And I'd call it a swan in a pond full of ducks.

The styling is shit, the sedan-only nonsense is shit...they honestly could not have shitted out a shittier product than this. Also, I hear the STI is still using the 2.5L engine.... welcome to blown ringlands.

It's hard to compare the WRX to the BRZ. They look very different & have different appeals.

I quickly took some pictures after heading to the ATM. I wanted to talk to the owner, but I couldn't wait around too long. I wish I could have gotten side shots, but it was in a parking lot :|

I know, I was just saying it from the picture though, there is no point to compare the two.

Why...Why....Why...still Boxy Appearance?

Ugh never noticed until now is where the hood opens creating that line in the front. Subaru should have made it so the hood open/close right above the front grill.

Good point, the way they have it almost resembles that of an Evo -_-
