I like hatches, used to own a Protege5, but that thing's pretty rough. I VERY much prefer the look of the current 07 to this one - I'm actually looking at getting an 07 sedan, but even the wagon looks better than that. I definitely like the PS that Design1st posted - in fact, if that's what the thing ends up looking like, I'd have to seriously consider waiting.

That car is also not competition for the Evo, it's just a WRX and the hatch/wagon version at that. Lets wait and see what the sedan and STI looks like...

I guess it's pretty official. Here's an entry from Autoblog: http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/29/n...-info-surface/
That grill is no better than the current grill.
Subaru is such an interesting company. They generally make ugly cars with nice engineering that I think sell pretty well. I'm wondering if intentional ugliness is part of the company mission statement. They're just so good at it.
I think though that if they swap out the grill and modify the funky (Banglish X3 type) tail lamps, it might not look so bad.
The profile is actually decent.

I think most car enthusiasts everywhere were really hoping Subaru wouldn't drop the ball on the WRX redesign.
The really dropped the ball. Didn't they fire a top tier designer? I love wagons and hatches, but this one could use some improvement. The rear isn't bad, but the front was hit with the ugly stick.

I'm not surprised by this comment. Speaking (very) broadly, everyone is benchmarking the late Mazda3 hatchback (not the Mazdaspeed).

This is a good looking hatchback:
And this is a chop of an 08 STI that shows they might be able to pull off the STI at least:
Well it was going to be but NAISOC is swarmed. If you look through the STI pic thread it's the black one.

They are just saying the shape is almost identical to the Mazda 3. Most quotes on the grill point to a Chrysler.
Nothing wrong with hatch just don't make it boring. If this was the base Impreza no one would be too worried I think.
Always hope for the Sedan.

So um yeah.. looks nice but sadly as others have said it looks like the MS3 waaaaay to damn much. Hopefully its just a photochop and thats it 'cause yeah.. theres flattery and then there is just flat out copying.
