New STi bites the dust

This car is feeling very sorry for itself, sitting in a smash repair yard in Japan. The talk on the internet hasn't been kind, ranging from comments like "The rear end looks less like a Focus now. Improvement for the better!" to the universally overused "that'll buff right out."

And think: he only took 282km to do it, too.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks to Tom Jakovljevic for the pics.
