Yup., the Bugeye had to grow on people IMO. Not sure what that guy is smoking, but very few people I know liked the look when it first came out, including me. I went and test drove it immediately though

Agreed, and I really like the EDM projectors and the Prodrive ones, but they're still an ugly beotch, even with different headlights.

It looks to me like a lot of the front end of the concept car came through on the production car. The openings are obviously larger on the concept car, but the general design is clearly similar. The rear end is a whole different ball of wax, but the front ends you posted are pretty similar IMO.

Actually, it's supposed to be in between the Impreza and Legacy size-wise.

That's what I'm hoping.. if it's like the other dude says and in between the two...

Weird. Seems like they're forcing a car in where it doesn't need to be. Like the BRZ "wagon." If you want a 2 door hatch... build one. Don't try to take a nicely designed 2 door sports car and turn it in to a wagon... NEVER works.
