I would rock that in a second. The tail lights actually fit that rear end imho.

Well it makes the GR86 look great in comparison so it has that going for it.

Mazdaspeed 3 anyone?

I don't like it. It makes the standard GR86 seem like a pedestrian sedan that optionally comes as a hatch. I'm not a fan of the shooting brake look, but especially this version.

I'd put a deposit on one today if it were real.

More roof real-estate for a rack, and more cubic feet for the doggos.

Interesting how divisive this is.

I was also obsessed with the bmw m coupe shooting brake when I was a kid, so makes sense.

I love a good shooting brake... not sure that this is one. The black cladding is terrible - it's not a Subaru... er... wait.

Ichi has got a lot of brake renderings stashed around here.

I'm a fan. Having a stowage platform behind the seats that can hold more than a handbag is a huge plus in my
(phone - cause nothing else can fit)
