Let's see ... they both have 4 doors and a wheel near each corner. They're higher in the middle and lower at the ends (like the Monty Python skit about dinosaurs).

Other than that ... I think it is just you.

Yeah, your right, I think it is just the outside of the headlights and the front bumper shape is getting me.

So far I've heard the car is a ripoff of a Corolla, RSX, Altima, Neon, and IS300. Gimme a break. Car designers always take cues from other cars. The thing that matters is if it works. And, for me, this new style works.

I can see the "similarity". In my book, that's a compliment. I considered getting an Altima, but they aren't sold down here. I'm surprised there haven't been more comparisons between these two cars given the performance/price similarities.

Thumbs down exactly...

That's exactly what I thought. If Subaru is gonna steal from Nissan they might as well steal the Skyline GTR styling instead of making it look like an Altima...

The silver drawing of the WRX on the second page of rexilla.com was the first I saw and is still my favorite. It reminds me a lot of the Skyline from the front.
