I like it...a lot.
If Toyota put this kind of design language into a RWD coupe, they'd have a worthy successor to the AE86.

It's nice, but it doesn't look like a Subaru. Not that any of the current Subaru models look right either.

It's a hatchback Esprit.

It's like a Seat of some kind with the side profile of a Lotus Esprit. While I don't think it is the mostest awesomest car you can get, it is much better looking than the current Impreza.

Although it still puzzles me (and relieves me) that Subaru's designers have not f**ked up the Legacy. Now that is a Subaru I would buy.

Here's my problem - Subaru doesn't do pretty. I mean, the outgoing Legacy is an attractive car, but I'm calling fluke on that given everything else they do, including its replacement.

NEEDS MOAR WEERD!

either that car is really small.. or someone has really really long arms.. and a really short torso

Steering wheel is too far from the seat and the roof line is too low.. windshield needs to pitch a bit more and then all would be good.

Hey, if Fuji wanted to come out with a new SVX, I think this thing could provide a lot of DNA for that brainchild. It'd be good to reinvent the SVX as a straight up sportscar, not the luxosport segment they went for. At that time, Subaru wasn't wildly popular with the luxosport buyers and couldn't make much headway in that market. This little godevil is aimed squarely at the sport-compact crowd, and it'd hit like a bunker buster.

Would I own one, no - I need four doors and rear seats for lanky teenagers - but I'd sure as hell beg a friend who did for a little wheel time.

Nice design. It's simultaneously futuristic AND retro, as if you plucked a wunderkind designer out of the mid-1980s and asked him to imagine what a Subie would look like in 20 years.

I think this could realistically be an unlimited-class version of the WRX in competition, but I don't really see it taking the place of the regular WRX.
