Are there any pics of one of these with its arse out properly yet?

See, you can tell more about that car from those two pics than all the arty bks studio lit, colour corrected nonsense in the world.

Yes, like there's no fog.... and still they seem to be on.

What i mean is, if you look how far out its hanging at the back, it gives the impression of being quite light and nimble imho.

New cars have to have daylight running lights.

Looks fun.

I like a lot, but personally, I would take the Subaru version in Sonic blue sans spoiler. If they wanted to offer a turboed version with the obligatory air scoop but still maintaining the RWD for a few thousand more, that would excite me even more though! I don't think that would ruin the ethos of the car (about 250bhp ought to be enough). Here's hoping!

I'm amazed some accessory company hasn't come out with blackened covers for them.

For me a turbo would ruin the ethos.

Perhaps you can. You can on my wife's Fiat 500 but you have to go into the computer settings to do it.

Surely it would just help broaden its appeal and boost sales for Subaru and Toyota. How many affordable, turbocharged RWD coupes are out there at the moment? I'm not saying that there should not be a cheaper NA model but most of the RWD coupes that I can think of from the past were available in normally aspirated and/or turbocharged form such as RX7, 200SX, Supra, Porsche 944 or BMW 2002. It would be wrong to turn it into an Impreza STI coupe but that's not what I was suggesting.
