But you shouldn't look at just the grille. The WRX nose design works as a whole and I guess it's a very successful clean-up of the original round lights version when it frist came out. Subaru should stop feeling their way in the dark for a design language. Just stick to evolutions of the current one and be done with it!

As long as u get a machine with a boxer4 engine, an AWD system, and 280 horses underneath the hood, is more than enough to overlook the grill. Sigh.. when will i be able to afford this....

I've always been the big fan of impreza. Many people used to said the rounded-headlight version was ugly. But I think it wasn't that bad either. I guess different individual has their own preference.

Even me myself, I felt like killing Andreas Zapitanas for that stupid design. But since the leaked photos of the next generation Imprezas, I became thankful. The current grille may look ugly, but the BMW 5 Series inspired eyes and it's AWD performance saved it from sales extinction. Haha... Hey Paul, don’t insult the Subaru Design.
