Hmmm interesting. It's hard to judge without seeing some bigger and different angled shots.
On second viewings, I quite like it except for the middle part of the grille. It just doesn't flow!

Looks pretty nice. I still prefer the old ones, like pre bug eyes.

I don't mind the grille, I think it will grow on me a fair bit - however that rear is still uninspiring.

I'm not too sure about that grill/bonet, Could be a feture worse then the ol "bug eyed" model. I don't mind the new lights though.

It looks bloody ridiculous IMO, way worse than the bug eyed WRX
The designer who thought of the signature nose needs to be shot |

I have to work on that ugly piece of crap!
The way Subaru are going with their grills is shocking. It's meant to look like a plane from front on, something about their aviation roots (I mean they built planes to bomb us with back in the 40's). Looks like crap from any angle to me. Though to be honest, I was expecting worse. Last edited by Psycho Chicken; 31-05-2005 at 07:47 PM. |

I love it, I'd have one in a heart beat, but then again I'd still have one of the bug eyed model's as well, but this '06 model is pure s#x to me.

When will car manufacturers realise corporate faces or what ever they want to call them look stupid yes a few old companies like Rolls Royce & BMW etc have got away with it but all the new attempts such as what Ford did several years ago, Mitsubishi are just getting over & Subaru is heading down have looked poxy

You know, there is going to be a HUGE aftermarket demand for body kits for these, specifically, FRONT BARS! Hell, get rid of that stupid frigging nose and I'd have one! The headlights do look good but that grille just destroys it. Rear is no different to current one I reckon, not offensive anyway.

yeah thats a pretty average effort.
Looks like the design team used all there budget for the front half..lol And whats with the "deflector" off the rear glass? Didn't a 1982 Supra have the same thing :/ Its good to see that they are not being boring, but I think they have gone a bit far with this one. The front lights are very 5 series. EDIT: forgot to say that I hated the bug eye when it first came out; but I dont mind it now  :
