![]() did the front overhang shrink? the hatch looks uncommonly nice from the side profile, which I hated in older pictures.
The sedan looks nice in red, but yucky in white....and the tail still is gross. |

This appears to be the same grille, or very similar to that being used on the STI, but with a mesh pattern instead. Bob Last edited by rsholland; 07-21-2007 at 11:13 AM. |

![]() Great pics. They really show how unique the WRX is, especially the grill. It is like no other car.

![]() My coworker noticed this first and told me that I should try to take a joy ride. I figured such an attempt would have ended badly for me, I got permission to take photos and I wasn't going to press my luck. The guys that were actually at the event drove the cars, and they liked them - check the MAIC forum for the "I got to drive a 2008" thread. These will also be on dealer lots within the next few months.

![]() So I was driving by a local subaru shop and pulled in to take a couple of pictures. I parked my Mazda3 beside it for a little comparo - since these two are going to be fighting it out in market.
I couldn't do much about the shadow so the pictures aren't great but here they are. They had a grey 2.5i premium in the showroom - it looked good. My girlfriend actually exclaimed "Wow Subaru made a car that looks good." That's a good sign, cause she's a fan of subarus but can't get over their ugliness - she also quite liked the profile of the Tribeca. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by reynolca; 07-22-2007 at 07:40 PM. |

![]() Hate to say it, but although very similar in overall design, I think the Mazda looks a bit better. I think the fender flares and the overall appearance of the mazda is much sportier than the impreza.

![]() The Mazda does look better I have seen the new Impreza in person and it looks like crap. I'm not a real fan of the Mazda but the shape of its hood make it look a little more aggressive. It makes me sick when a car company and car company copies another car companys body design this is just rediculous. I am more than a little mad at Subaru right now. I won't be buying another Subaru in the future if they keep this up. Subaru's styling may have been weird back in the day, but it was original at least. I liked the Bug eyed cars and I liked the 04 to 05 cars I could even tolerate the 06 to 07s. Seems as though Subaru is continuing to go downhill with their styling.

![]() It's amazing how such subtle differences make the Mazda look so much more modern.
It also just looks so much more balanced. Thanks for doing that! |
