Here's what I was talking about: a more European look with slopping roof, narrower profile, higher waistline, and lower center of gravity. The core design is solid, it's just built upon an ugly duckling car that needs a major aesthetic overhaul. Forgive my ghetto chop. Now there's an Impreza I'd buy.

Yeah its FUGLY, but its still an STI. Like i said in a previous thread Subaru kind of hurt themselves by releasing the Tribeca first, cause now it looks like the WRX/STI design came from that...

it seems like car companies were going in the right direction in 04-05...but now everyone is going downhill.....there are some exceptions.....*cough*GTRproto*cough*...along with a few others....but for the most part...06+ vehicles arent looking so pretty.

The more European looking Subaru is the Legacy GT. More upscale, refined with slopping roof, narrower profile, etc.. Take a look at it.

Just waiting to see what kind of front end kits they'll develop for this car. Something that has a new grill should be pretty interesting

I always thought Subaru made their cars dorky looking on purpose. It seems to give them character and uniqueness, even if they are ugly.

i'm also gonna have to stick with the "looks better in person" thing... and trust me, when you're behind the wheel, you're not worried about how it looks (my girl just bought an '06 Obsidian Black Pearl STi )
