Gracious! What a monster hatch! Goes straight to the top of the pops for hyperhatch looks.

Makes the new STI look like a Proton. [Gosh - did I just say that?] Pity it's only front-wheel drive - ought to be a handful - but probably won't with a Quaiffe LSD coupled with RevoKnuckle* suspension. *What a bizarre name.

Still, looks awesome and (probably) goes like stink. Love that colour - anyone for a GT3 RS hatchback?

Remove spoiler and paint it black... then it would look good.

Yeah, rip out the engine put in a 1.4 diesel and add a CVT tranny. There, suitably emasculated for blue rinse grannies!

IMO, this exceeds the limits of being "sporty" or "hardcore" and goes into "fast & furious" and "boy-racer" territory.

Paint it black? No!
Paint it blue and damp it in the sea

^ LOL - bloody Volvo & Renault drivers!

Come on - what happened to living it large just for a little while? I like the car - it makes a statement. I can easily see myself driving around like Stirling Toss in this thing. And, it'll be acceptable because people will say: "Look at that lunatic, yeah, what do expect from a guy who buys a car like that."

And it's all good. No apologies, no embarrassed looking the other way at traffic lights. I'll go trade my name in for something Finnish-soundling like Mikko or Harri or something. This car is a license to drive like a tonsil - in fact, if you didn't, people would reckon you for a bit of a pansy.

Whoo-paah! This thing gives a whole new take on "Green"house emissions. Burn rubber baby.

looks totally radical. I'd rock it....but in a different colour.

Whats the powerplant and output? Definitely take it over a scooby as far as looks go.
