    Not as nice looking at this WRX.



    The new one is a "slight" improvement over the one with the Tribeca nose.
    ...and across the line.

    It looks like warmed over ! Why do car designers feel they have to redesign a car to death? There have been several incarnations that have killer looks.. this one looks like some one just took a shot in the dark and hit !

    Chop off the nose and look down the side of the car and you've got an E90 3 series BMW. Cars are all starting to look the same! It's a shame.

    Erm... the new one is the one with the Tribeca nose...

    2006+ Subaru STI:



    You posted an '04-'05 STi.

    I didn't like the '06 at first, but it has grown on me. This new one is hideous... but then, no one buys a Subaru because of the way they look.

    Yep, I thought you posted a Kia at first myself. I guess the only thing they didn't throw away was the scoop, which is the only defining feature at this point. Marketing people need to stay out the design industry, creative thinkers aren't always the best designers. UGLY. I would rather be drivin' a Gremlin.

    He meant that the one in the drawing is better than the current gen with the Tribeca nose.

    I stand corrected. The new one is the fugliest of them all.

    OH NO! This is bad! I'm getting a Ford Winstar vibe.

    I'm seeing a squished '00 I30 in the headlights and grille...bleh.

    Don't hate me too much, but I like the 5-door body this thing is wearing. Obviously not what most of us would expect to see from a Suby, though. I think if we could lose the Camry front bumper cover and the blingy grille, it might be pretty decent...or at least bearable.



    ...and from the previously linked thread...



    Interesting, no?
    Rear glass is a bit more late-90s Civic hatch as far as angle goes, but they might as well be twins. Hmmmmm...

    HA! it does look like a spectra!
    kind of looks like the new mazda 3 also.
    well the 04-06 suby was hideous and had a huge ricer wing that made me want to vomit. the way they have been going with subaru i wont be suprised if this one has a 2.5 foot 3 tiered aluminum/imitation carbon fiber wing.
    the best looking subarus are the 02-03.
