Why do the headlights remind me of a Pontiac Sunfire? I've always liked the look of the Imprezas but not this one. I guess it will take some time to grow on me...a LOT of time.

As if one spoiler wasn't enough, they have two... notice the one on the back window

I kind of like the pictures of the silver Imprezza (non-STi). But it would look better with the snout in the middle deleted.

it only has one spoiler, and one wing. If they can back that decision up with some numbers, I can dig it.

Meh...it's going to be fast that's for sure, but the looks still leave something to be desired...like a RX8, LOL...I'm just give you a taste of your own medicine...LOL, just messing with you...

Why not take the car to another level regarding looks? I know it's safe to evolve but I like revolutionary changes to be honest.

They're going for that retro-thing, but they unfortunately chose to bring back the Edsel with it's toilet seat grill. The thing between the headlights is a handy urinal, complete with minty smelling Subaru emblem.

Always the innovators...

The photos look much better than the chops. I'm not certain about the "nose" portion. Perhaps if they made the front grill continuous it would be a bit more attractive. Nevertheless, it's going to be some good driving in it.

I like the headlights on the new one, but Subaru has to learn that good performance is not an excuse for making ugly looking cars.

Hmmm, so, who cares, it's still ugly, and everytime I see any sub driving down I think they look like they are cheaply made, same goes for evo, who cares how fast it is. The only thing this will impress are the teenage boys, and the stuck up car critics, which is fine if you are into an alternative lifestyle. I personally wouldn't care if it put 400 to the wheels, I still wouldn't drive it.

Personally, I really love the looks of that car. Very awesome. The new front end has history and meaning behind it and I like that.

The new design is certainly growing on me, if it outperforms the current WRX I may trade in this year rather than waiting a year for the STi.
