Looks ok - still big though. I saw what I thought was a B4 down the street last week, it turned out to be a WRX sedan!
Hopefully the suspension setup has changed for the better to do with rallying. I was talking to a guy at the Rally day a few weeks back and he reckons you won't see the new WRX on the rally scene due to the lack of suspension travel.
I would like to see subaru move back to a smaller body overall in their line up, but I doubt that'll happen. It'll follow the same line as the RAV-4, starts a good size then upgrades, upgrades, upgrades and upgrades until its a large car...
Anyway, I hope they're headed back to a racer type of WRX rather than a luxuary sports car...
Cheers

yeah this one seems to be heading back to a more meaner style but still a few things not looking all that flash.
the wing looks OK but a tad out of place with the rounder body. I think it will sell fairly well though compared to the hatch atleast.
the WRX sedans were out in 09 i think but this is the first STI sedan in 3 years i think i read. bout time

bigger better stronger faster seems to be everyone's mantra..
too bad they keep making the lines bigger.
I think new IMPS are on old legacy platforms
etc. etc.

I like it 
Nice clip but would have liked to hear the engine/exhaust than that music 
IMO.. I think Subaru build cars to be safe and handle the best they can.. they have never gone for a style that suits the whole world.. You'll find that in Japan the Subaru looks like many other cars.
