Luckly the ver 8 looks true to it’s philosophy … muscular, macho and tough. Then suddenly they come out with the softy and nearly gentlemenly ver 9 even when they ver 8 is still endearing to the eyes. There was nearly no demand for a ver 8 replacement at all then.

Now, prematurely they are goin to launch a replacement model with the ver 10 again. Not only it looks more sissy than the 9, the bug-eye suddenly looks so interesting for the 1st time! All thanks to the damned ugly, so sissy 10. What’s goin on with their marketing? worse, their designing?

I love the wrx so much that i can never imagine owning an evo even when i can afford 1. They are a pure bred racing car. It has so much DNA innit that 1 cannot mistaken it from anything else … even when you can only hear but not see it. That is the very reason i always open up my window to hear that roaring engine.

So what the heck are they doin now? Has Mitsu secretly bought them up and out of ego, killing it slowly and softly? I cannot imagine how shitty the nxt subaru will look like. A flying d*** to complement the ver 9 perhaps?

Of course it looks more like Toyota..since Toyota is one of its partner right now…Even KIA go for their european design centre to run away from korean looks on its car design..so that it can be acceptable worldwide….anyway to me it still looks like korean design vehicle rather than Toyota..

Now the facelifted Tribeca looks so common. Had they not put the round Subaru logo onto of the front grill, I would have mistaken it for the a Hyundai Santa Fe.

listen to much to richard hammonds, jeremy clarkson, james may, me, you, and alot more, saying the old looks are very-very hideous.

subaru people should stood firm on what ever they believe. in fact, if they dont believe the old face is ugly, then why they do that?

balls. its about balls.

It looks so Korean, but still beats the pig nose. Subaru needs a serious designer to justify the good cars they produced. C’mon Subie, even Kia has better designs these days! Judging from the prototypes they have released anyway. Subies seem to be the only dinasour (maybe Mitsubitshi is also) left in this modern design world.

Unique shape might not be good sometime, Subaru designer now is FORCED to change his dreams shape to NORMAL look. He/She might be sad and maybe had been FIRED by Subaru or FROZEN his works forever.

About the new look, OUTDATED!! once again OUT!! SUbaru is Out again, looks more like TOYOTA.

Is it me or does the front look a bit like savvy…. XD

——————-

Er….do you know how a savvy looks like????

Last Tribeca was a Murano gone hideously WRONG. New one is good. Most people are more fairly conservative. bear in mind this is probably targetted at the North American market. They should have learnt a lesson from the GM/Pontiact Aztec. Being different doesn;t always work…especially for a people carrier.

You know what would look really good as an Impreza, a 8/10 scale Saab 9-3 Sedan and wagon with AWD… , Just change the grill, add a hood scoop, and bulge up the fenders.

Saab used the previous Impreza turbo as the Saab 9-2.. maybe this time it shoudl be the other way around, since from the looks of it, Subaru has hired pretty lame designers.

oh… really looks like hyundai’s santa fe… not a really good exterior improvement…. at least tat’s wat i think…

____________________________________________________________________
Agree. The front look like the Santa Fe, and Santa Fe look better.
But the back view and interior look OK, especially the T-shape interior dash bord design..

I think even Subaru were thinking (no, screaming) to themselves “Quickly buy it and get it out of our showrooms before other people see it, its hideous.”

Now THIS is definately an improvement! Like Subaru hired the right guy for the design job.

If only he had come sooner, The Impreza 10 would not have been such a sack of shit…..

YOU CALL THAT IMPROVEMENT? DON’T LET ME SEE YOU POST HERE AGAIN.

Paul, this is not the most shocking facelift, it’s also the lamest, more so than Fiat’s facelift Multipla and Punto MKII.

I prefer the flying vagina. this looked so Korean …

cant say much about the interior..i really hate nowadays big car players are using cream or beige colour as their main scheme..(just my opinion la..)

This one definitely looks better, not that the old one is ugly, I sure think the previous version has some resemblance to the old Alfas.

If only he had come sooner, The Impreza 10 would not have been such a sack of shit…..
