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

The USDM Bugeye's were the worst looking ones. They look significantly better once you change out the headlights though to something other than what we got stock.

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.

Live stream in the first link, for those who are interested. Unveiling started at about 20-ish minutes into the vid.

Yes, but since they eliminated the Leggy wagon and the Outback is the Tribeca, this would seem to fill that slot between.

I have to admit, the 2015 wrx looks a lot better at the unveiling than it did in pictures/renderings. Not bad at all!
