man thats ugly.

it will be interesting to see the 2006 WRC with out electronic differentials.. will probably make it a bit more dangerous?

i wonder why they made that a new rule anyway...

no need http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...r=asc&start=20

...right, the Impreza. I don't think it looks bad either, although the new "horseshoe" grill doesn't fit the old-design body shape. As for the "dumbing down" campaign led by FiA, i'm split on the issue. Why is it doing that when it's trying to promote the "cheaper" Super 2000 Rally Championship?

I really hope Solberg will have a chanse the next year with this car, after all the troubles he have had this year...

But Loeb is still a great driver though...

I heard that car was the new Impreza Group N

Looks like a saturn ion quad coupe

i like it :drool: IMO it is better than current wrx

:shock: my oh my... untill now i actually kinda liked the Scoobys.. but now.. now it UGLY.. my god a 5 y\o could have made it look better.. good news for mitsu i guess :) the now not so ugly EVO will sell much better then the new STI... :lol:

I really like it as well. Much better than the 2004 Evo WRC or the new Mitsu concept.

Yeah, the WRC version definitely looks better. But still the "fuselage grill" is still nasty.

The back is not that different from the old one, but the front, I guess we will have to get used to it :|

But they will have to use that car right from the beginning of the season: no delay are possible for the exit of elctronic diffs (you shoud read what you're posting redbaron :wink: )

They must have changed the story, the story still contains the part: Subaru tends to start the year with previous season's car for the specialized events etc. This part was followed by a story about why they wanted to use the old car first (more competitive because of all electronics etc) and they could not use the old car with new body because of the one-evolution-a-year-rule. So I really have read it before I posted, I didn't made this up.

B.T.W anyone already found High res pics?

:wink:

you're right, thats what the later added part says. As I said they have changed the story. I think the FIA made the rules more clear during the last month.
