I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. It looks terrible, IMHO.

Yeah this isn't for me.

I know this isn't the actual wrx concept, but if it was I'd be a bit disappointed. Except, I don't mind the headlights though.

We're probably gonna see a few more prototypes before fall. If they are all that ugly and reminiscent of the current-gen Legacy, I'll just pull the trigger on an outgoing-gen WRX for a winter car.

A WRX needs to have a more utilitarian look. I have trouble seeing myself flying down a dirt road in that thing

Eh I guess its okay. The logo would be the first thing to go, but Audio did one better and let this car idea go instead.

You know what annoys me about people's perception about the concepts and production cars? They're all lambasting it because its toned down and doesnt look like the concepts.

But in reality they are so similar its just that the lack of impractical aggression is what made them appear so fundamentaly dull.

The Prius C for example, lots of people liked the concept and hated the production car....why? Add the bodykit to the production car and it'll look exactly like the concept car (minus the LED's)

The Subaru Impreza, lots of people like he concept and hated the production car....why? Drop it, add bigger wheels and black out some of the details and it'll look pretty close to the concept.

This advanced tourer concept? I thought it was supposed to preview the new legacy.....i wouldnt be surprised if the grille shrunk some to become less mouthlike. The Impreza grille isnt that big.

So what! I think Subaru is losing their way. Not including the BRZ but Subarus' have become big and ugly. The Outback used to be a small all wheel drive wagon, now it's a big overgrown SUV. So is the Forester and now the WRX is going to become a futuristic overgrown crossover. I understand this is a concept vehicle but still yuck! They will probably lose their Lesbo market. lol
FRS all the way.
