The pic from the OP accentuates the blocky shape of the mid section too much. Its like they took a Chrysler sebring, cut the front end off at the firewall and c pillar at the rear and a ttatched an edgy car at those points. It just doesnt look right. I agree the flares look like an afterthought. Just not flowing well. I'll pass.
STi Owners said: We want better steering, Recaro seats, and engines that don't blow up. Subaru heard: We want the big wing back. :???: The wing returns! Subaru teases 2011 Impreza WRX STI ahead of NY Auto Show...
Crazy wing, Nooo.... Ok. I'll hold my judgement until I see the real thing. Wait 2 more days or possibly tomorrow night.
That seems to be the hatch/wagon with the wing...just like the WRC wing. Well IMO that wing is what makes the STi stand out ! I like the aggressiveness it incorparates on the car.
AutoBlog has the full reveal of the new 2011 WRX, power is the same as the 2010 model. Not 100% sold on the fender flares, but I am digging the new rear end a lot. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/31/2011-subaru-impreza-wrx-wide-body-new-york-2010/
