The Sti looks even worse in my rear view mirror on some TWISTIES!!!

 

Agreed! You beat me to it!

 

your mom goes to college..

 

Different strokes for different folks. You won't believe how many people think the RX8 is completly ugly. ibfanboisdefendtherx8andsayitmakesangelssing

 

LOL!!

 

Not sure I'd use the word ugly. As an Sti owner I fully admit, this car is far from sexy, and far from good looking, but ugly seems a bit harsh. I guess as a whole if I look at Subaru itself, they never have made the best looking cars, but they are improving slowly. When I parked my STi next to my rx8, and now my S2000, then yes, I suppose it is ugly both inside and out, but by itself I don't feel that way, yet I can't call this car good looking either. However, if I were going on looks I'd have never bought one to begin with. The way Subarus drive is a thing of beauty, even if they don't exactly look great just standing still. My STI reminds me of the average looking gal that's wild in bed and can rock your world, and just always looks good, as long as it's moving, and you are the one driving it.

 

The model after the bugeye and before the current one is the only one that i've liked for the impreza. The B9 continues to remain the ugliest car in my mind.

 

american designers are right on top of this **** with this marvel

 

I own an 8 and a 9....I happen to like both....granted they are totally different vehicles but they also serve a different purpose.....
I'll have to admit that the nose if the B9 did grow on me...LOL...no pun intended.. but I love everything about the vehicle...

 

Tribecca tops the Aztek in the ugly department. But then so does the Element. Aztek is #3? Never thought it could happen.

 

I was iffy on the Tribeca at first, but the more I've seen them in person the more I like it. Overall it's a very nice vehicle and it stands out in a crowd of boring SUVs, but not in an obnoxious garish way like the Aztec does.

The thing about Subarus is they aren't eye catching or sleek, they have a very purpose built and durable feel to them in just about every way. They are rarely a car that will have instant appeal but tend to get more and more attractive as you examine them and get used to them.

 

nicely put Ike!!
my sentiments exactly

PS...I love that pic of the B9

 

I'm sorry but I think the Legacy GT looks better than the RX8. New WRX with the snout is hideous though.

 

very, very well said. congrats, would you like a cookie?

 

I've definitely grown to like the look of the STI, except for that silly trunk spoiler.

 

This is ugly

 

08 Legacy looks pretty good:

 

WRX..... Its alright! RX8...... Hmmm! What is everybody thinking!

 

The current Legacy is nice looking but the '08 is VERY nice. Aggressive front fascia!

 

YES! An ugly car thread! Here's my list of ***-ugly cars:

2000 Tiburon with spectacles:



Couldnt find a good picture of an old Sunfire...



Is this the front or the back??



... I had to add this one in, looks like a tadpole.

 

dont get me wrong im not trashing all the subaru cars, and i have no right to since I havent driven any...but most of their cars, to me, are plain and boring. Being an import company you'd expect more. Their specs are awesome, but that's all they got goin for them. But hey, if their cars turn you on...more power to ya. I was just expressin my .02.

 

Well, some people put more emphasis on looks then others. Generally those people cannot and never will appreciate a Subaru. I actually understand both sides of the coin. I can see how someone like Ike is into cars like this, and I can also see those who take one look at an STI and go OMG, that thing is hideous. I'm somewhere in between both biases. The problem lies that you have such a wonderfully car building company, yet they can't get those missing pieces of puzzle to stand out. It's like take Mazda and Subaru and combine them, and you have basically an incredible looking car with superb performance, build quality, and durability.

With that said, before Subaru builds a eye catching and sleek car (may never happen), they need to work on their paint and body. This is by far the worst car I have ever owned regarding body panel strength and paint job. So easy to dent, so easy to scratch, and easy to chip up. I predict a rust bucket with my 100% outdoor STI in about ten years or more. I guess I shouldn't let it bother me, because after all, this is an Impreza, and outside a distinct enthusiast fan base, the Sti is disposable. It's a drive it into ground and junk it car for the most part, and will become a car youngsters buy to beef up and race. I just wish they'd put more time and effort into the STI with their paint jobs, and make it above the base economy Impreza in that regard.

 

they can look really nice too =)

 

I second that. Their cars make nissans look like classic masterpieces. Hideous, every one of them.
