It won't sell.

Could be an interesting option for those trying to figure out how to have a RWD sleek looking ride and still fit their baby seats. Pricing will be everything, if it is marketed as a cheaper WRX hatch (b/c of the lack of AWD system) then people will certainly buy it. Especially if the engine and suspension mirror the BRZ because that should mean a decent amount of aftermarket goodies for the father trying to save some excitement in his commute. If they bring this, they'll need to let XV or Forrester retire tho...too many cars in the line-up.

Looks like a great car for people who can't make up their mind!

That would be me, or I would just go STI instead of all that woobly boobly

Looks okay, but not really a fan

Am I the only one that thinks cars designed like this look weird with only two doors?

bcj · 11-20-2013, 12:11 PM

It's all the boats with 4 doors that look minging.

M-17 · 11-20-2013, 01:02 PM

Slim it down a bit and add some sexy curves then I think they may have winner in my opinion.

If this is the closest we'll get to a shooting brake then its not horrible. I'll just sit here and wait for more info I guess....

Yes, despite how much I like the twins, Subaru makes ugly cars. I said it. I like to pretend that Toyota did all the styling. Which I hear isn't too far from the case.

The best looking Subaru is a Toyota.

Wow, I have just redefined "ugly as sin" in my internal dictionary...

jer305 · 11-20-2013, 03:32 PM

Love it! keep it RWD!

Nemesis · 11-20-2013, 03:42 PM

Can we just get a 2015 or 16 twin? After this I need good news on the future engine....

Heheh, I hope it's not the only option. Right behind not canning the concept before it ever sees production. It is possible to swap a CVT for a MT if worst comes to worst.

Probably not, but IMHO one big door looks better than two tiny doors.

The chassis its riding on won't allow it. You do know what chassis it rides on, right?
