It looks like a Kia spectra and a Mazda 3 wagon bumped uglies and this abomination is their spawn. I think it would look much better as a three door hatch like the old VW Corrado.
I don't know why Subaru and Mitsu refuse to use their excellent EVO and STi platforms in cars that actually look like sports cars. Why not make a 2 door sports coupe based on the existing platform? Granted sports cars don't sell in huge numbers but the Evo and Sti are limited production models anyway and spreading the platform over more models would save money on R&D.
Many enthusiasts will purchase these hopped up wagons/sedans based soley on performance, but there is a much larger audience who likes a little bit of style on top of that go fast goodness. We don't want or need two extra doors and back seats. Just bring back the SVX and the 3000 GT VR4 to compliment the sedan/hatch offerings of the WRX and EVO. Use the same underpinnings and wrap them in a sleeker 2 door sports car body.
Until then I'll just hold on to my VR-4...

They did have that eclipse concept that had awd and speed but I don't know what happened to that.

I would settle for Prodrive bringing a toned-down version of the P2 in your post icon to market.
