Hm, it does look awkward at first sight, but it might jus be one of those cars that have to grow on you...

looks pretty sweet

[Marco_Wrc]

I want to see it in action, I kinda like it.

[Veyron]

The race car looks funky because the street car is funky, I kind of like it. Will take time getting used to like the front end on the previous WRX. That windhield is really raked back!

Didn't Toyota find that the steeply raked back windshield on the Celica was a major detriment to visibility.

[Veyron]

I thought maybe the rake was just an illusion on the 307 body style, but comparing it to the 206, It appears more severe.

[gnasha]

Shame it doesn't have the open top feature though. I still prefer the 206, more nippy, or may be it's only because for me, the 206 was the true daughter of the 205 T16.

[hrmodeler]

Really looks very strange.
I was looking on road version before WRC came out and I was trying to figure out how it wil looks like rally car. I didn't imagine that than, and now either. Doesn't looks like rally car.

Agreed, it look more to me like touring car.

[Focus2000]

No, I'm not keen on the shape of the new car. The steeply raked front seems at odds with the more angular rear, it looks like the front of a van has been combined with the back end of a saloon.

Does anyone know why they went with the 307CC bodyshell instead of the existing hatchback version?



It will be interesting to see what Marcus will be able to achieve in it next year.
