i think the concept drawings looked better for some reason,and i was skeptical then, now that i see pictures of it, i think it looks worse.

looks like there trying to please the DSM crowd and get people out of evo's and into wrx's with those new front headlights

which in my mind is a great idea. Im not too fond of the front end though it does look like it may allow for more flowing air to the engine bay.

I think the car looks good .. Except for the hideous pig snout they put in the middle of the grill. If they took that out I would trade in my 04 for sure.

...AH HA! I've finally figured out why it doesn't look 'subaru' to me- can you imagine it as a rally car? It's just weird... but again, I'll give it time to grow on me. Like someone else said, I didn't like the 04 at first, either. But this change seems a little more drastic, if I'm not mistaken...

EWWWW!! Not aggressive looking, not much change on the body style. It looks like they just updated the fron end and rear.
That rear window spoiler/difuser looks like it would fit the present bodystyle. Hmmmm......

Personally, I think it looks 100x better then those photoshops floating around. Its good. I kinda don't like the back end though. The taillights suck and the badge don't seem to fit as well as the SUBARU written across the back does.

All in all, it excedes expectations in my opinion.

My sister (aka, normal untrained eye) says that it looks very nice, but she can't really see any difference. She likes it.

Its still an Impreza, that much is obvious.
