why'd they get rid of the side yellows? : ( I don't like.

Finally!!! Maybe Petter will be a happy person again with the new ride ("This car is undriveable!"). Looking forward to the debut.

I have been waiting for this car to come out for like 6 months. I wonder what was taking so long.

They updated their website to something cool. Subaru World Rally Team

Ok I try to follow WRC as best as I can, but I don't know the answer to this: What happend to the good old paint job for the car? Why does the new one have the subaru symbol rather then the awsome current style?

New body style, new livery. Marketing wanted a change.

i'm trying to figure out why they didn't go with a vented hood.

Are they getting enough airflow without it? or those pics could just be a show car. It could show up to next rally with a different hood, and who knows what else. (IMO)

I like the new look - aggressive rear spoiler and fenders. The new paint is definitely a nice step as well. The front end could use a little more "I'm gonna kick your a**" to it, but other than that it looks good.
