I'd like the sedan better if the boot wasn't so darn small. I need something to replace my Forester...

I'm hoping for an early spring release. :crossesfingers:

People are complaining how ugly the subie looks, but in my opinion this sportback is Hideous.

I saw one of these today at a dealership and I love it. The rear leaves a little more to be desired but due to its functionality of it its a winner in my book.

"hideous"???? I wouldn't go that far, man. It's just the sedan with the trunk cut off. Sure, Mitsu could have done a little better with the profile and taillight design...but you get everything else, AND functionality.

The trunk is seriously useless if you have a family...if you are single with no kids and this is your DD, yeah, I'd be shooting for the sedan...

The Ralliart has a station wagon profile and the WRX a boot shaped profile. Pick your poison basically.

The video isnt in english but it looks like Sportback has great functionality, I especially like the way the back seats go down. Sorry if this is a repost.

Nice video, it actually looks really good in black.

The only other thing I would need is a sunroof.

There are other videos on the sidebar.

I'm trying to figure out what the hell is going on in that video.. It's not a ralliart (right?), yet it has the frond end, and what appears to be an intercooler, but with a manual transmission! Is it possibly a turbo diesel?
