The new Fozzy - not sure I like it.

It is kinda OK, but I am not blown away with the Pilot/RDX look. Looks a little too utility and less Fozzy.







That being the XT, and I guess this is the base:

In white, gold wheels, lowered just a notch and it's really nice.

I like it. I have been trying to get my wife to get into a FXT for years now and she thinks they are too small. Now that it looks like a Pilot, might have something to work with here.

Interior looks good, relatively standard fare these days.



The new Impreza actually grew on me and I like it now- the wagon more than the sedan. At the same time, I didn't like the Impreza either when I saw the first pictures of it, but in person it looks much better. Maybe the Foz will look better in person too.

There's a photoshop of one that's been derailed. Looks pretty slick. I don't really like the way acura like scoops on the bumper but then again I don't like the useless midget fog lights either.

But it's not bad looking.

Looks like it. For 2012, I thought they were all automatics? Looks like they will offer 6MT and CVT.

Specs:

The new Subaru Forster will enter its fourth generation with two types of engines, a new 2.0-L turbocharged Boxer engine generating 250hp and 258 lb.-ft of peak torque, and a 2.5-L Boxer engine delivering 170hp and 174 lb.-ft of peak torque.

There is a duct that begins right at the Subaru badge and brings air in under the hood straight on to the top mount intercooler.

You can kind of see the structure on the inside of the hood.

If it had more aggressive body lines and bulges on the sides like the 04-08's then it'll be great looking.

I like it better than the current blob-ish looking one. Don't mind it looking a little more utility than before.

I think it has a lot of potential. Maybe not a great looker stock, but with a few tweaks, it can really go places methinks.
