I like to think of it as a grocery bag over an ugly bitches head, probably better it stays on, lol.

It's probably just going to get uglier, they keep going downhill of the 05s.

I'm pretty sure the car under the tarp doesn't have tires that penetrate the ground plane, and the mirrors of the hatch and sedan are too far back. I'm not trying to rip your photoshop skills to shreds (I don't have any), I'm just saying it's hard to make assumptions..

That's a really tough call. I can get them both to line up perfectly, but the area around the wing looks more like the sedan than the hatch, and tarp at the back end looks like it's draping over a chunkier bumper like the sedan has. The wing just doesn't seem like it's in the right place on the trunklid for a sedan though, so I'm stumped.

We'll see on Thursday..

I think Subaru is coming back, the wrx sedan looks very good. The rear bumper and exhaust looks like M3, the seat looks like it has more side bolsters and it's heated. Looks like bluetooth is an option now. And the front bumper doesn't look that busy on these photos: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/31/2...new-york-2010/

It could be the angle of the covered car is slightly different. I can't tell since I can't see the wheels.
