rear end looks like shit,
they fucked that car up bad
now it's a stupid station wagon.

reminds me of my dads old ass nissan maxima station wagon

vanish1

I think the front end is actually pretty good looking, I like the organic feel of it, reminds me of a better looking MZ3.

although they ruined the rear end, looks like a tribeca from the back

Actually i spoke in great length with a subaru rep on the new impreza. it looks much better in person. and that center screen is DVD/NAV.


i know a lot of details about the car and what is to come in the future.

Despite people saying initially they dont like the car, there will be a strong following and wil sell many units. There is going to be a lot of tuner companies developing parts for the car and i think it will do very well against the new Evo X.

You're all going to be in for a suprise with the STi......

Excuse me? That new Subie is HIDEOUS. I love the current generation with the eagle eyes and that style grew on me. But this one does make me think of a corolla.

Dear god that's horrid.

kia spectra?
chrome grill = chrystler sebring -ish?

well, the one after the "bugeye" looked like a hyundai.

the latest version is still an improvement from the tri-beca version. kinda.

EVO X eats the Subaru, spits it out, rapes it, then crushes it underfoot (in that order).

For whatever reason, that design just makes the car look taller than it already is.

exitspeed

Werd. Subby is gonna loose a lotta sales to Mitsu.

Subaru's best efforts have been the current Subaru Legacy GT, a really handsome car IMO.

'04-'05 WRX STi (post bugeye, pre Alfa grill) is a good Subaru design, but the best I can really say is that it's "not ugly"...although for Subaru that's an accomplishment.

Oh, and some of the pre-bugeye Imprezas were truly badass, if a little...crude.

As I understand it, the Legacy is selling pretty well, too, which makes it even more questionable why they are abandoning that design path for a wierd Alfa + Kia + Daewoo + messy blob look.

I mean, Alfa Romeo does it like this:


Subaru:


basically, let's take a beautiful italian design, put it on a taller sedan body, and replace the elegant curves with body flares....

exitspeed

The Alfa thing is dead. He was fired from Subaru.

C8 Competizione. The most gorgeous Alfa ever made.

As a Subaru owner, I feel extremely let down. It looks like a hyundai or a kia or something. Terrible.

I really like that Legacy STi it's pimp

+1 for truth

only 500 made sadly, i would have liked one next to my:

the alpha nose WRX (06-07) really wasnt that bad imo. it's no alpha romeo, but i felt subrau was gradually improving, and moving towards a better direction. the designs were also becoming more aggressive from the bug eye, to the blob eye, to the alpha look which is think is a good think for the WRX. the nose is prob the only thing that doesn't work, but the rest of the car (esp the headlights) is generally attractive imo.

As far as the current aplha romeo lineup, its arguably the best looking commercial car manufacturer lineup period imo. even the interiors on econobox models are masterpieces. they've really come a very long way, and its difficult for almost anyone to measure up to them, much less subaru.

the legacy is a good looking car i agree. it was a shame subaru did not borrow more from that design. something along the lines of a more stout, compact legacy would at the very least aroused a lot less offense.

Nachtmensch

the blue wagon looks like a ford/kia.

atom

That is a sweet Mazda 3. Wait...

exitspeed

Look how awkward the taillight looks. Ouch is the first thing that comes to my mind. The curve on the bottom the light looks bad and gives the illusion of the body protruding out.

if that were a painting, i'd assume that the painter was taking it in the ass while trying to use the brush.

LGT is my next car hands down (ever before i saw those pics that are posted)... The new WRX = no go.. As much as a i like wagons i will never get one of those.

As far as that SX4 I'd rock one over that wrx.. Have you seen what comes standard on those thing (info taken from http://consumerguideauto.howstuffwor...zuki-sx4-2.htm)

As for that alfa..... I never knew the made a car that looked that good.. Is that one also a FF? Judging from the tires out back i highly doubt it.

LGT FTW !!!!!

new subie = F A I L

the pre bug eye is nice, the bug eye, blob eye are okay, the tribeca is actually nice if you take off the hideous nose with some type of body kit...

this new one just fails miserably, people have called it a bastard child of the mazda 3, impala, sebring, kia... bleh...

the legacy looks nice, wished the impreza went this direction... subie also needs to get rid of the 5X100 and go all 5X114...

OptionZero

The first red one, the hatchback, is FWD or AWD and really fuckin slow. It's just sex on wheels, as the Top Gear guys say.

The other one, the coupe/roadster is RWD 4.7 V-8 IIRC, 500 made, all sold.

BC240

What the hell kinda bloated piece of turd is that. Who designs these things?

keroto

the evo look like shit!!!!!
