Yup - 35th anniversary Z definitely has similar wheels. I guess Nissan copied Mazda, and Subaru is copying them both!

I was looking to score some wheels off a 3 for the svx...
until I really looked into it, and found out how small they are

Exactly. For now it's fun to watch the critics jumping from their first floor windows in horror...

I like the car at some angles, hate it at others.

SVX is also that way. I think the front end is fantastic. It's not good-looking by any means, but it is still unique and modern. Problem is that fascia doesn't belong on a rally car.

The back reminds me of an RX300, nuff said about that.

1/4 angle from the back looks like a Z4. Hate it.

3/4 angle from the back looks like a VW hatch.

Interior is fantastic in that first picture, but that is just good lighting and unrealistic coloring. Texture and materials look cheap, but well fashioned.

Seems to me Subaru is trying more to win a beauty contest vs the Evo rather than just outperform it. Not saying it looks better, but it does have more class.

A famous rally car which is well known as 4-door saloon is not a hatchback, thats not right. I dont like hatchbacks in rallies. That front end is definitely not for a serious agressive rally car and the whole body doesnt look like a serious rally car either. The back end is more like, anyway dont wanna list all those other cars now as they are already mentioned a million times all over the internet. I would still take a 06/07 STi over this anytime. Definitely the interior got improved, thts the only gud point to make.

Well gud luck with the new STi owners. I will stick with my svx and alfas for a while .

-Pavan.

Ran across this while looking up stuff. What do you think? Looks meaner than the car they ended up building.
