That looks so awesome! I like how they went back to the bug eye hood scoop. I may have to trade my 2004 in. This will be the 07 here right? Since we are 1 year behind Japan on the changes?

It's ok. But I don't like how "smooth" the front bumper is. Not aggressive enough...

Those new tail lights suck. The look like altezza lights sort of. I'm going to have to swap them with an 04/05. Will this be the GDC?

The first shot makes the front corner sort of look like a Pontiac Vibe...

I agree, the bumper on the sti looks way to smooth and blended, a little too "perfect" for me. Is the silver one the wrx, or just an impreza? where's the scoop?

+1

it's been downhill ever since 02... get with it subaru.

I'm glad my future plan when I get out of college and get a job is a motor swap rather than picking up the latest model...

...then again, maybe I just need to see a black one and let the new style sink in a little.

Tails look like ****, and the front isnt much better. The front COULD look nice but there is just WAY too much bumper and not nearly enough headlight. Hopefully some aftermaket fronts will take care of this but unfortunately, as much as I love to love OEM aero, this sucks.

i don't like the front- but then again i didn't like the 04 front either- and i have one- as a matter of fact i hated the bug eye too... but i have that too. go figure- maybe subaru is headed the path of honda - make cars that seem ugly but everyone soon enough falls in love with them- - - -

Hmmmm....At least the got the idea that most true enthusiasts debadge the butt-ugly letters and did it from the factory. I'm not WILD about the new styling, but it could have been much worse. I think I'll stick with my 2003 WRX. Bugeyes for life!
