Besides neutering the performance of the car, they just messed up the design so badly. It's like a Honda Civic and a Crosstrek had sex. Both the Civic and the Crosstrek have to be the ugliest cars ever made and their offspring is ugly times two. Subaru clearly doesn't want to appeal to the male audience anymore, or at least guys who have testosterone left in their bodies. For the cost, I would buy a slightly used Genesis G70 and make some tweaks. It looks a million times better and once a few mods are performed, it will blow the doors off the WRX in every scenario. This mess is the impact of Toyota imposing their will on Subaru....sucks.
