Visualising this with a more conventional door arrangement & with frameless windows it would still look great.Bring it to production in coventional or hybrid drivetrains & watch them line up.

What I mean is, I barely see the RDX in this. This Subaru concept is nothing like an SUV. Look at the ground clearance, not even remotely SUV-ish. This thing is like a large hatchback if anything. The rear lights look more like the Brera, along with the rear window, shoulder line and general shape of the whole rear end.

I wasn’t aware it’s OK for Subaru to rip off other cars… But the headlights on the Cerato for example are vaguely similar to the Civic and people slam it, but Subaru and people applaud.

Actually looking at the hinged opening from the front view the gull wing may not nu such a issue. It would be nice if some ‘regular’ car company had the foresight to build a model with doors like this. The novelty of it would help it sell no question.

As much as I like it, how do those gull wing doors open in tight parking spaces – esp those in Japan. Many Jap spec cars have electrically folding rear vision mirrors owing to the tight spaces in which the car is stored. Cant see the gull wing seeing light of day.

What do you mean ‘RDX?’ The tailights are very similar and the RDX is a big SUV-ish thing like this car, unlike the Brera, meaning the rear shots have more than a passing resemblence to them. Subaru – make the bloody thing!

RDX? I still think its a Brera knock-off at the back.

Anti-spam word – Subaru lol

This is the best-looking Subaru produced ever (behind the last-gen Impreza 2nd faclife in my opinion). The front is just so together and its actually almost beautiful. The rear is too similar to the Acura RDX but I’ll forgive them because theres abit of Alfa in there and the rest is so nice.

BUT this begs a question. HOW THE HELL could they produce a car that looks as awful as the Liberty and then they come out with this? Now seriously wtf!?
