Congrats on your guys Scooby's. I still think they are ugly but to each thier own. One thing I noticed and maybe you guys can get on your fellow 08 owners.

NO SUBIE WAVE MAN WTF 08's
You see another subie owner give a wave or a nod or something. DOnt think you are better than us cuz you have a newer, yet uglier, subaru. I love all subies but i think the 06-07 are the best looking ones.

See my car @ www.cardomain.com/id/irish_car_b0mb

SO as of right now until they change thier attitude towards fellow subie owners, I think they are not one of us.

lol, are we a cult now? Only enthusiasts nod or wave to each other, or people who are on some type of forum. Has nothing to do with what year subie you own. I love the way all of them look. I dont think 08's are the best looking just because I own one. I think every year has something really good about them that stands out. If you are a real subaru enthusiast you dont bash any year or makes. If you want the same looking car for 10 years with a different body kit then get a mustang. Everyone thought the 06's were butt ugly when they came out but we all love em now.

Everyone loved the 06's and 07's dude. A lot of people hate the 08's look at the poll i started.

https://www.i-club.com/forums/subaru-general-30/do-you-like-how-08-looks-yes-no-182658/

And if you werent an enthusiast why would you be on a forum about these cars. Yes i am a real enthusiast, but yes i hate the 08's body style. And no not only "enthusiast" wave to each other cuz i see everyone out there (mainly north bay cuz thats all i drive) waving to each other. Unless its an 08 im passing everyone waves. The 08's are the only ones i never see wave. i have heard this from many people. Maybe its cuz they are new to the community, and thats fine. But for those who have been previous owners thats no excuse. Where is the team spirit huh. Maybe we could be considered a cult of some sort. We arent as crazy as the Bimmer people, but we have our fair share of die-hard fans.

I think subaru will lose a lot of sales with the look of the 08's and I will be ashamed to related to the 09 if what I saw is really gonna be what it looks like.

With all the hate and negativity you are spewing, I wouldn't wave to you either...and I ALWAYS wave!

You made a poll about it? Have you been abused by an '08? WOW!!! You know what they say..."if you don't have anything nice to say..."

Oh yea, I met a guy at Milpitas Square with a White 08 with the BBS package, who told me about i-club, and now I'm here. Name:  HPIM1707.jpg

Hmm agree with your opinions on the body style. I would say I'm an enthusiast but I have negative opinions about the 08 aesthetics. I think styling went downhill ever since 04-05 and even that car wasn't very pleasing. However I think Subaru will sell them regardless if they're subjectively ugly or not.
