It looks fine to me.

People who are used to the *Box* feeling will find it super ugly. I understand.

they haven't moved a mm forward in terms of style since this:
Which is sad because the car looks dated, in the new Bangled era

When the first bug eyed beauties came out in Canada I was very tempted but couldn't pull the trigger as the mechanical prowess could not outweigh looking at that thing prior to getting in. Perhaps if i was to be systematically escorted to the car blindfolded it might have worked.

To each their own when it comes to style tons of 8 owners hate the way other 8s look because of after market body parts...

I personally love the bug eyes and if i had the money would pick one up asap

To each its own is presupposed in every discussion of taste. None the less there are established design classics which have stood the test of time...

BTW anyone know who has been styling the WRX cars and where he worked before?

It's not like the Veyron nor the Enzo are pretty. People respect it because it is uber-fast.

Yeah, so that makes it okay to make one of the best performing cars for the money look like a Ford Focus...

Subaru sold out in order to gain the grocery getter market. Its all about sales...is killing the spirit of the WRX. Is a shame, all that performance and clout stuffed inside that lackluster shell....vomit.
