New WRX Concept!

[IGOTASTi]

Well what does everyone think so far about the new Concept WRX?

notbad.

Those are some meat brakes. Looks like 6 pots up front and 4 pots in the rear.

At least in the closeup, the snout is vaguely reminiscent of the current Dodge Charger, but not enough to bother me.

Also the rear looks a little Scion tc-like.

Id wanna see it from more angles before making a decision

I agree it has a ford look to it... But I kinda like also :tup:

I dig it. I see the ford a bit but I also see Lexus in the front. Kinda resembles the new IS cars.

Glad someone else agrees with me.

Whoever designed this concept needs to go back to designing Scion TC's. LOL Idk, it might
grow on me. I didn't like the 08/09 hatchbacks at the time but I can appreciate them now.

It just looks to me like a Scion TC and Dodge Charger had a love child and then dropped it
on it's face.

I didn't like the hatch when I bought it but I bought it for what it could do. Over the years I have grown fond of the ugly afterbirth in my garage.
The only thing I see wrong with this is that the car is kinda going the way of a performance Euro/Jap sedan rather than that funky rally car look. I can't picture this thing on the WRC

Just saw this and came to post pics. Here are some more photos:

I like it A LOT!

Now that I think about it, I think they are styling it more like a luxury sports car because some don't like it's looks when considering it's $30-40K STi price.
Those headlights will remind people of a new Audi. The more I look at it, the more I like it. My problem with it is, when I look at it, it's doesn't speak "WRX"
or "STi" to me. Call me old fashioned, but I'm a GD guy.

I'm waiting on the released look to make my decision than the concept. Looks to big and bulk in the front for me. They have stuck with the same average look that has worked for years, not sure why the drastic change.

I agree it "could" look better to the eyes for its price but once you own the car you realize it's not missing anything.... Just to the point and doesn't have the eye candy to present it to you.

How much do you think it'll weigh? I can see that being heavy

^
Good point. She does appear hefty but hell the GR does too. Gotta see what they've done with the interior as far as appointments for a weight guess.
I read somewhere that the roof and rear diffuser are carbon fiber. Could help shed some weight, though if those actually make it to production.

For an even more bloated price tag I'm sure... :|
