Unfort you die with the looks you are born with and in my eye the wrx has always suffered in this dept....this new offering is no different.
I think what a lot of you are missing is the fact that it wasn't only designed for the european market or any market for that matter. The current wrx is getting killed in the wrc due to the fact that a smaller hatchback body is more suited to rally and so if subaru want to get back to its winning form they had to change their design.
