As far as the 06 looks...well, it is far different from any other model with the exception of a few Alfas and maybe one Suzuki Forenza? Other than that, you can distinguish an 06 from a mile away from the rest of the ordinary cars. I wish we could say the same here with the 08 but is not. |

I like it. The other Imprezas were all pretty ugly. This one, while it doesn't stand out with good looks, at least it blends and looks like a normal car. The previous versions were all failed attempts to put a pretty face on an ugly car, and they all ended up as ugly faces that looked out of place on the rest of the car.
But really, I don't care how it looks. I never would have bought a bugeye if looks were my main concern. Maybe the lack of fender flares make it more aerodynamic and save a little gas? Maybe the new suspension will give it outstanding handling? So, if the engine is just a reflash away from 300hp, the suspension is improved, it's lighter weight, it gets better gas mileage, and the interior is classier, then I won't be concerned one bit about how it looks. At least it won't stand out as an exceptionally ugly car like it's predecessors (2002+). |

I'll take my bugeye over ANY other design (minus a modern interpretation of the GC8 coupe)... regardless what the haters say

i will NEVER, EVER own one of those.
the more i look at it, the more i see prosaic and uninspired design, and a botched rush job. I remember my high school days, rushing to finish an assignment and producing a crappy, botched, copy of someone else's work. Dear subaru, i made it out of high school, why are you still there looking over the shoulder of the person in front of you? |

it's like the PS3. it came out really soon and it is not really looking good at all. im very very disappointed. why do designers always go for the "capsule-like" shapes??!!! no offese guys, but the image of the new EVO looks alot nicer. ...and all this time i thought we culd whip those suckers on body style.
what happen to all the "oldskool shapes"??!! |

IMO this makes me want to sell my car so it is'nt associated with a company that is going in a direction that is so lame . this looks like a car only elderly people would look good in . not a lusted after ripper . i'm over 40 and own 3 hatchbacks including a 300 hp WRX wagon ( my demographic ) . the only way to make the front look good is to replace it all , headlights can stay , the rear is a total mess and the tail lights look like e-bay crap . if i owned a car like this i'd feel like a teenager that just got his grandparents old car that they couldn't drive anymore , for free , and no matter what i'd do to make it cool it would still suck so i'd drive it only because i didn't have any other choice but to walk everywhere . just me but i hate it that much . they should call it the new justy .

Subaru better offer an aero sport package for the new WRX. The kit should include new grille treatment, fender flares, 4-pots and better tires...
Interior looks much improved. |
