The fender vent is functional and not just a stick on vanity piece. Granted, it could be a little less gaudy but even the base model scion version has some form of vent right there.

I'm cool with it being functional, but it definitely doesn't have to stick out like that.

If that is anything like what the actual subaru version will look like then it is ahead of the Toyota. unfortunately I dont think we will see it in Australia.

I guess we can always just Sileighty it :v:

Looks good but the wing needs to be replaced. The one the Toyota was rocking on the Nurburgring would be less ridiculous.

Agreed. I like the Subaru one more mostly because of the wing. There seems to be a lot of functional aero on the car.

I like the wing, but wish the vent was a bit more invisible. Not a deal breaker though

Looks just like a 370z to me

edit: ehh, maybe just the profile, looks a lot different at other angles.

I hope the wing is optional. gently caress I thought kids were over putting park benches on their cars.

The 370Z is way more pinched front and rear, but the window profile is quite similar.

I agree that it looks better with a wing. Just not the wing they have on there now. It's like seeing a Supra without a wing. It just looks.... off. The Supra stock wing is pretty atrocious, but somehow it works on that car. I think the BRZ just needs a more flowing design than a park bench.

Or maybe it just needs to look a little more like an STI. (quick and dirty photoshop, using a Supra aftermarket wing)

To me, this looks so much better. So much cleaner and more elegant. Something I could actually show up to work in with a straight face.

Edit:

BoostCreep posted:

Ok, that's a lot better. I still prefer it without the wing, though. I just have a visceral dislike of big wings except for on real, actual racecars.

Round it off a bit at the top. The line on the spoiler is a bit off because the rest of the car lacks any hard angles.

It does look really nice though. I could take it without a wing, or with the STI one you made, but I don't like the one one the current show car.

It looks like a fake wheel spat made out of negative body cladding. Since the concept probably has a ground effect kit of some sort, I bet it won't be on the production version. Ditto for the wing itself. I think a tasteful ducktail lip spoiler might look nice.

Like this, but like at half the height:

Or as in the E46 CSL

It looks great in person, way better then the Scion concept they had there. We asked to get on the platform to get detail shots, but they said no for liability reasons.

There's probably no interior, or not one they want to show.
I'm sure you'll be able to order it with or without a wing.

Hog Obituary: Jun 11, 2006; start the day right

I really really hope the taillight shape on the Subaru concept makes production and they don't get reshaped to match the Scion version for cost savings or whatever. The square-ish shape just fills out the rear so much better... and the red looks far better.

Ducktail lips/spoilers are the best thing.

Rabble: Dec 3, 2005; Pillbug

Toyota was responsible for the exterior styling.

All these comments about the hideous wing make the "good looking Subaru" praise extra funny because the one thing subaru was actually responsible for every hates.

In my opinion the only thing wrong with that wing is that it looks like they pulled it out of their spare parts bin, it doesn't fit the curves of the car at all. It's probably not the production wing design and knowing Subaru the real wing will be twice as tall as the car...someone should photoshop a Plymouth thunderbird style wing on the back.
