Looks like it got punched in the face by an ape...

Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

I dont like the grill but the looks of the new hood are much better than the current one.

The new regular WRX looks like a Civic coupe (with 4 doors, if that makes any sense). I was pretty indifferent about the previous design, but I'm not a big fan of this redesign. Change up that grill and I think it might look alright.

The Legacy is so nice(For now), WTF?
Ohhh yes, the Legacy is a VERY nice looking car. If it was cheaper and I lived some place with snow...I would have gotten it. Very nice!

I drove the Legacy when I was looking at cars (I originally wanted to check out the STI). They have done a real nice job with it. The interior is very upscale and the ride is perfect. There was no shortage of power either.... the car was relatively nimble for a sedan.

And the looks.... they need to put those designers on the wrx, FAST

Saw one today at a Subaru dealership that I passed on my way to the doctor. I have to say... it looks sweeeet.

I say check it out in person before passing judgement.

the only thing i can confirm is that its ugly as hell.

and how the heck is there not official pictures swarming all over the net(this one being a "close" photochop) when the car is already out in production?(according to japan 8) ive only been able to find a few besides the ones linked in this thread

this upside down alfa romero/toilet seat grill going on with the b9 tribeca and the impreza hasnt grown on me. its just too grotesque. they should have modelled all of their cars after their flagship Legacy, now that is one hell of a good looking sedan, especially the b4 GT

i much prefer the current one and the gc8 impreza, the bug eye impreza is ugly and this one is the worst.

if the grill flowed better so its cleaner like the legacy it might look much better to me.

if you get the sti change your username to IkeSTi :D

probably better to trade this year though as next year you'll probably get a lot less return on your trade in so you'll be shelling out even more money for that shiny new scooby.

You can't argue about taste, but I'd rather buy a Evo IX.

What's that cappy on the roof? Is this the version without airconditioning?

i think it looks a bit better as some people have said, got the latest issue of Car and Driver today and theres a small blip on it. It says the sti remains unchanged underneath the new skin though. (Not refuting claims about other models, TR, etc...)
