The grill/nose of the 06 WRX/STi & 05+ Tribeca's resembles the grilles from Alfa Romeo's. The Subaru designer who revamped the look is also an ex-Alfa employee.

All modern and most historical Alfa Romeros have that grill...



Oh, and I saw a blue WRX sedan turn from Fair Oaks onto Howe tonight around 8:45. It had an exhaust, couldnt see anything else since it was in front of me then turned left off of Howe right away...

I5 North from Fruitridge Rd yesterday morning, silver 06 wrx wagon. You pretended you were on the phone.


From what I've read, the grille is supposed to be a tribute to one of Subaru's merged company's heritage as an airplane manufacturer. The "snout" part is supposed to be the fuselage, and the flanking grille pieces are its wings.

Ok, so which one of you has the blue Bugeye sedan w/ RS wheels, muffler, and an I-club sticker and was parked by the Starbucks near CSUS on Howe?

I parked next to you while I was going to the University copy center, and I got a little curb rash cause of how you small that spot was next to you

sorry kostamojen, that was me. when I got there, there was a huge suburban on my left, so I had to park a little over the line. I was late for work so I didn't have time to drive around to find a better spot.

Possibly next year. I go to Folsom High right now. I can see the college from my bedroom window almost.

Silver wingless bug-eye parked in the lot across the way from BJ's in Folsom. It had blacked-out tail lights. Also saw you driving around the Bel-Air lot which I work at so maybe you work over there too.
