It looks like a Tribeca STi. To be honest, I really didn't like anything after the GC/GM but the Bugeye grew on me. I wanted to get an '06 for the benefits it has, and I just kept reminding myself that usually, I would be inside the car and unable to see the exterior...

Yeah but you worked on the easy end, try photochopping the front end of the car so it'll look good, then i'll actually be impressed

That's like saying it don't matter if a girl is ugly as long as you're hittin' it from the back.

Like Krinkov once said, we didn't buy out Subarus for their looks. They look great in race form (rally, time attack), but our Scoobs just don't look like those cars. I had come from the Euro scene, and always loved the Euro look more. Cleaner design, inside/out. But performance and maintainance are not without a pretty penny!

Yes, I still think that Subies aren't lookers period, nor are Evos. To me they're still rice cars, but they sure as hell perform like no other in their price ranges.

For me to even justify my own Subaru's looks, I've had to simplify the look by de-baging it, wingless, painted side skirts, lowered, etc. I do appreciate the boy-racer box flared look now under certain parameters, but it sure took a while to see it.

The second chop looks much better than anything I've seen yet... The back doesn't look too bad at all... The front grill needs to be changed for me to even look at it.
