Since when does Subaru do research and development in California and actually tag the car? Also, how come the front rim is blurry and looks to big?

I can only say photoshop!!

Also note that Mazda does test their cars in California

... although the exhaust is on the wrong side and headrests are on the back seat???

Definitley not a hint of Suby body styling (- the hood scoop).

Subaru gets so many facelifts it should guest star on Nip/Tuck.

Subaru is going to change the front of the car to go away from the airplane look, not the entire car to go with the Mazda 3 look.

That's a good point - Suby's is oval. I wouldn't be surprised if it were the next gen of the Mazdaspeed3. It also has the I/C on top of the engine but it is much more forward like where that scoop is placed. Hmm..

Superglue - nip/tuck - that's funny.. So right - bugeye wasn't popular so they changed it, then the '04-'05, now the '06 which has mixed popularity... Haha. Every 2 years a refresh. Wonder what's in store for the next couple years.

updating it every 2 years also keeps more people buying them. Look how many people buy the new body designs when they come out. Whether they trade in their old suby or sell it privately....subaru is selling new cars

Thumbs down

Bleh if this is the real thing. Then again, too many covered panels. I'll wait until better spy shots appear.
