BOOOOOOOOO!!! These new grills have got to go.

Whats the deal with companies making these outlandish grill designs. I guess they never heard of "if it aint broke dont fix it"(well the WRX is a special case, they just made the front worse).

Well I guess that's the new Subaru family grill.

I hope it doesn't make it throughout the whole lineup. It looks ridiculous.

i said this the first time i saw the new design and i'll say it again, i don't know WHAT subaru is thinking. i love their current design for the wrx/sti, but i really just don't know what to say about the b9 tribeca and the resulting design changes to match it.

is it just me, or do i like the original early to mid 90's WRX's the best. the last of the last before the bug eyed styling is my current favorite, you know, the ones that came in a 2-dr coupe form.

Curent Favorite Subaru (street legal)

-1998 Impreza WRX 22B


-2000+ non-bugeyed GDB Impreza WRX


imma miss cars that looked this good.

This new Subaru face is beautiful, i personally think it's the best it's looked yet, though the B9 is still ugly to me. Where as when i saw the new WRX STi i was stunned, i might have to try and get my deposit back for my IS250....

Well at least it looks a little meaner and fits the STI ralley attitude. The other faces looked a little to happy happy joy joy to me. Thats why I always liked the EVO more, it has a mean face.

Anyhow...back to the styling. After building more-or-less normal-looking vehicles for the last 8-10 years or so, it looks like Subaru may have decided to return to its traditional quirky roots. The new grille, IMO however, DEFINITELY looks better than Audi's.
