Now that was the answer I was looking for. I guess I like the way the back end looks "square". Not so much the WRX STI wing but the quarter panels themselves. I also like how the grill has a "shelf". The Mazda 6 is very round in the front and rear.

This is a link to a page on Corksport's website. This page is supposed to be for Mazda 6s but is this a picture of a Mazda 6? http://www.corksport.com/main.php3?primNavIndex=5& The headlights and grill look totally different. And the back end looks very square. What is it?
