Wait until you actually see one, the wrx looks far nicer on the road than in any pics.

Saw it at the motorshow in new york in April, and it was so dull I cant describe how dull it was.

It get's uglier the further back you go ! the designers must have got bored after all the fidily bits at the front

Ach it's just a dog's dinner. You'd have thought they'd have learned from the bugeyed Mk2 debacle, really.

Funny thing is, the latest Legacy is a great contrast, it's a graceful and relatively unoffensive style especially in wagon form. Why oh why do they keep f*cking up the Prezza, then?!

Having said that, the marketeers say they want to appeal to more female buyers, and Lisa says she does quite like it. Remember she ran an "original" 5-door wagon Turbo a few years ago, so she knows what she likes! I guess if the hatch boot is a match for the current 5-door's, or better, then we may have one yet. It will be getting Subaru's first ever flat-4 diesel engine, after all...

I like it. Once it starts winning the WRC people will start liking it.
Nice pics here:

I think todays weather looks more interesting.... thats how dull it looks.

I could understand something like that being produced if you already had a 10-15yr old product that you were trying to re-skin with minimal cost (think MG).. but as far as I'm aware this is a brand new product... there's just no excuse.

Isn't that a Proton Gen2?

Mazda Focus?

Looks like someones stuck an Impreza bonnet onto a Mazda front end then welded it to the back of a Focus.
