I don't work in automotive sphere, but here I feel duty to express engineering pov. Rear wing is meant to generate downforce, stability... it is its purpose. It is not meant to be married or even just desired. So its form is defined by certain phisical characteristics of airflow and not "being atractive". If I find an analogy in nature it is like comparing an owl and a rose... one is aerodinamic the other beautifull in its purpose.

I am fully aware of this... It is about managing air flow and creating as much leverage on the rear wheels as possible.
Still doesn't make it pretty though. I liked the first iteration of their rear wing... This, however, not so much.
... Also owls are majestic creatures. The Toyota is not.

Yes it is ugly, but designed to work in conjunction from the front wings back. Since shots of Ogier testing the Yaris, it is evident that the door skins have been widened, and sculpted similar to an 80's testerossa, flat at the top which leads from top of front wing, the aero door mirror arms, along this top edge of door skin and rear quarter panel to the bottom of the rear wing.
The car does seem to look stable at speed on Tarmac straights.
