I think this like all the other WRX's will grow on people over time.

Bugeyes aren't considered anywhere near as hideous as they once were?
Betty's have started to come of age.

This will be a car I'd like to own.

Nope, same as Liberty with a few changes Mark.

Also the six-speed model sports carbon fiber-reinforced synchros in first in second, and a wider spread of gear ratios, meaning the car won't be humming along at 3000 rpm on the highway.

It too comes with viscous coupling locking center differential baselines at a 50:50 front-to-rear torque split and adjusts when slip is detected.

With regard to the premier movie posted by JDM, its seems very strange to me for a performance car to be shown in such a relaxed driving style as its debut showing. It really shows what Subaru now seem to think of it. Its now longer their show piece sports car but a family car to be driven in the city at 50 kms per hour.

It's no WRC contender that's for sure.

It does lack the sporty fun style of the classics though.

It's looks out of place somehow, like dorky dad just took the family sedan out for a little smash around the dirt track to escape how old he feels.
