it is fugly

the new front facia is supose to resemble the plane

Yes a plane, a centerfuge and wings.

Suburu's parent company has heritage in plane making.

The style is a toast to them.

I saw it in person today at the Subaru dealership, and I dont think it looks bad at all. It isnt as aggressive as the last generation, but it is still as attractive as a "boy racer" car can be, and a lot less ridiculous than the EVO MR design.

All subies were kind of ugly, but in a - too tough to care what we look like- sort of way. The new subies are just ugly like a wrestler in drag.

Agree with him... I think it puts a more agressive look to it.

It's ugly cus' the rest of the car doesn't fit that front end. You got an Alfa Romeo-esque eccentric front-end, then a typical boring import side and rear profile.

has some DEFINITELY nice features on the 06. Take off the new front, put on an 05, and get rid of the rear window spoiler...and its a HOT car. I like that it now has a center LSD in it.

Nice features, ugly front...

oh yeah....and the tails have to go too.

Good eye, an Alfa Romeo engineer designed it.

that looks beautiful . . . if you were to cahnge the grill and/or bumper i'd be sick. if you compare stock to this pic, you would notice, not only would you have to change the bumper, you would have to change the hood as well.

I saw one the other day on the road... at first I thought is was an Alfa Rameo and I was like WTF someone brought one over to the US and put a hood scoop on it. Then for a second I thought it was an Audi, then the hood scoop finally kicked in and I figured it was the STI. It was wierd.
