How can you guys say that!?? All the defining lines are covered in tape. And even if it didnt look that nice would you really swich over to have that crappy mitsubishi qualitY? I say give subaru a chance before you overreact. Remember when the 06-07' model was first introduced and everyone thought "oh god its so ugly no way i'll buy that!" but its grown on many people including myself. Subaru has made little mistakes in designing and building their cars in the past years so let them do what they will and im pretty sure we will not be dissapointed.

I think I'd rock it till the wheels fall off. A smaller hatch, with more power, is going to be an even quicker sreet car and a much better rally car.

Plus, I miss real hot hatches.

blah! IS 300 wagon rear end with a chrysler grille. It's not my cup of tea, I'm not going to buy an Evo but I will be sticking with an '06 STI(when I get it)

True the lines are covered in tape but you can look at it and peice it together. Looks like it still has '06 headlights/hood, for the most part the the rest of the body with the exception of the rear end and grille look like they will be VERY similar to the '06.

God, did I mention that grille needs to get kicked in?

Personally if that were my car I would get a paint job instead of covering my car in tape, but hey thats just me.
