Still ugly…. The yellow color scheme with black rims reminds me of Civic EK Type Rs

The forever hideous Subaru. There’s really no point discussing which Subaru is better looking. But, hey, beauty comes from within right eh?

problem with some japanese designer they are to much on details, too much time spent n designing grille, too much time spent dash board, making thing much too elaborate,

forgetting designing the basic shape of whole car is which capable of a great impact visually,

the evo 10 for example they concentrate on how the whole shape look like,
that what makes it different

There is more to the car than looks. It could be a really good car to drive.

2 important things to note
- the NA engine Impreza gets a useful power increase to 103KW from 92kW. The previous generation models were a bit underpowered. 92kW to haul a 1320kg+ car around is asking a bit.
- they have got rid of the SportsWagon “hatch” and replaced it with a Euro-style hatch. I like the wagon-like hatch as it was a very useful car to move things in. I guess Subaru is trying to move people who want a small wagon onto the Forester.

Am I the only one who likes the bug-eyed model? I have one in the form of the RV hatch and I think it looks better than the model that replaced it. IMHO only the current model Impreza with the koala-nose grill looks as good.

Looks like an everyday hatch, with ah-beng’s touch..

Still find the previous (pre & post-bugeye) better looking. This one is trying to hard to looks good. In looks department, Evo X wins.

subaru is going fugly these days.. i rather get the previous model but without the aeroplane grill la..

i think subaru got some problem with it marketing n produt portpotioning, i never heard a model from subaru that could sell out load in the market like KIA, TOYOTA or HONDA… something is really2 wrong with subaru this day

I think the design is ok, just the front grill suxs.. If they change the grill into more aggressive, maybe can sale a bit..

Really nice and can’t wait for it. I’m sure it will compete with Mitsubishi’s Evo X.

Cheers all.

It ain’t a Subaru. Believe me, it’s a facelift for old Kia Rio.

Looks good but no previous Impreza’s DNA.
