I think i can handle the rear tail lights.
The front... OUCH. They just made that damn pig snout TOO BIG IMHO. It looks also too whimpy. I'm used to cars like the R33, GC8, EVO8, EV05, EVO6, etc. It looks like the SAAB. It looks soo... nice... I don't want nice.. I like the mean agressive look of my current MY2000 2.5RS.
That settles it.. If there isn't a significant difference between the innards of the 05 and the 06, i'm getting the 05...

Its called Brand Identity.
You can identify the car without even seeing the badge. A few compaines are successful with it (Volvo, Saab and Dodge come to mind first), so now everyone is jumping on the Grill Brand Identity bandwagon.

Is that what their trying to do by putting the "Tribeca Grill" on the new Impreza. Man, hopefully not cause I'd hate to see any more of that grill on future subarus. Maybe it'll grow on me, but we'll see.

Hmm... These look sorta similar.. With the subaru having the alfa snout... Just needs the hood scoop...
I believe that the mirrors have an "aerodynamic attachment" that was advertised as an add on for the previous MY Stis in Jp...

If you have seen the b9 tribeca that just came out, you can see the relationship with the front grill, that triangular lookin thingy...i dont like it too much but you never know what it could like with a few exterior mods and maybe they might have a few new color choices!

It interesting.. I heard that said about the bug eye as well.. "with a few mods".... The only mods i'd like to be making (if any to the Sti for heavens sake) is to the rims and some simple engine mods. If I have to virtually have to redo the whole front end as a mod, then there has to be something wrong...

Half these posts are like "it's okay" and "it'll grow on me"
Not this time for me. I better fall in love with the car in 5 seconds if I’m spending $32,000 with some ridiculous mark-up when they first come out.
Does anyone remember that GC8 style prototype that one guy drew up some time ago on CAD errr some type of drawing program? That thing was sick.
