now they completely lost the aggressive look...they're going for a softer, upscale image...pitty [V]

Is it me or does it look like they might have gotten some ideas from our disgusting 2008 focus and maybe a mazda speed3?

I could pull about five more cars out of that horrid design.

the back of the hatch looks like a Lexus RX400H

i don't think it looks that bad, The older ones are not relatively attractive anyway. Would i buy one probably not. If they changed the front end i might be more inclined to buy one, but hay i have no money so it doesn't really matter

Sweet Sebring [rofl]

These do nothing for me, if I were a Scooby fan I'd be real pissed

I think the back hatch looks like it has a Honda EG glass with a little Ford ZX2 taillight treatment. Wheels look very Lexus-like, and the grill screams out Chrysler mini-van.

Yes!!! and I was still trying to figure out what that front end reminded me of!!
the front's (headlights/grill) got some Crossfire lines as well

the sedan looks like a corrola with a hood scoop

all i can say is good job to all the people that complained about the face lift last time...now you got yourself a regular grill so be happy lol.

so anyone in the area of NYC, i just saw that the WRX will debut at the NY international auto show at the javit center as well as a bunch of other cars. Most likly they wont let people but id really like to sit in one and see how much better the interior is. Ill definitly be sitting in its competion the lancers to see their supposly revised better quality interior.

the stance kinda reminds me of a hybrid camery.... Nothing like a cobbed out sti WRX

well if they make the sti that fugly.... hello evoX

well if they make the sti that fugly.... hello evoX

supposly subbie worked heavly on the 5 door saying it will be the underpinning for STi...so most likly the Sti will be a 5 door hatch. If the STi is going to look better, they have to lose the grill and make something more sporty, if they keep the grill, then yea this run around ill take an Evo over the STi....evo is beaslty...this thing looks like a puppy.

It is kind of interesting to think who they might "consult" with when they decided on that front end cause I can just about guarantee that the people who are buying these cars are NOT please with that nasty grill!!!!!

As a 2002 WRX owner, all I can say is bugeye for life.

I like the older models (first gen) a bit more...I guess they are getting away from the rally type look and more on to a more "upscale" type deal..

I don't even think a sweet set of Morette projectors will save that ugly face.

The sedan doesn't do anything for me, but I'm a sucker for hatches.

I think overall I like it. There were a lot of people that complained about the mug on the older WRX's as was stated earlier. I am a sucker for hatches as well.

It does look like a carolla and camary. But more importantly does it run well.

but why, they have the Legacy for that look...they should of kept it looking rallyish, or at least more aggressive.

If i saw one of those i would probably poop on the hood.

The concept of the hatch is great, finally something to combat the R32. I've been critical of the current subie styling but I prefer it a million times over this future version, biscuitninja I also think it looks like a damn corolla!

So i just came back from the show, and checked out the new impreza, they had a sedan and a hatch back. The sedan.....looks like crap, meaning that it looks like every other sedan out there, this one didnt even have a spoiler so when i approched it I was like, oh god thats the impreza sedan....it is way to round. The hatch looked alittle better, but i still couldnt get over how conservative it has become. They had a totaly rally tricked out sti right near them and looking back and forth, the wierd aviator style grill of the last remodel looks alot better then this.

These auto body designers are too sober for their own good.

Someone needs to send them to Bangkok for a month with Thai sticks, Thai women, and a box of Trojans.

i got the issue of motortrend that featured the car, and the more i look at it, the more i like. Im thinking that the STI will probably look more aggressive, but i have nothing to back this up with.
