Subaru's wannabe rx-8
I'm guessing this is a concept from subaru. A friend sent me this pic and told me this concept is supposed to surpass a skyline in accleration and top speed. Its not like a new impreza, but a new subaru, something like that. I'm not too sure.
here's the link

Found it I think at http://www.i-club.com/forums/showthr...threadid=11350
It's ugly from the front - NOT like the RX-8.

Not much room for a V6. Like the general outline. A RX-8 fastback. It's a four door - right? Wheels are too much IMHO. John

IMO most Subarus are not very easy on the eyes, but they go fast, and perhaps that's why, so we don't have to look at them for too long - lol If they built this it would probably have over 300 real HP - think about that.
It also has a "Bangle butt"... most BMW fans should know what that is. 
Well, if something resembling it (and let's hope it gets a facelift) does see the light of day, then the RX-8 and Mazda should get a lot of credit... without Mazda taking the bold step to creatively package the 8 in such a way, I doubt the other automakers would be even considering the concept.

ROTFLOL!!
Tom and Jerry cartoons or any with a "big bad wolf," eh? :D
I saw it in person and didn't think it looked that bad at all. The grill may be a bit of an issue though. Anything would look better than an Impreza. If it has the kind of performance advertised it'll be a killer.

Wouldn't be a V6... it'd be a flat 6 or a turbo flat 4. I'd bet on turbo flat 4.

Might not be pretty, but it's going to be a monster if they ever take it past the concept stage.
