Cool

Subaru seems to be going the way of the Ford Edsel as far as front end's are concerned The Tribeca as an example has the face of a grouper!

Suburu like Audi had perfectly fine front ends then they choose to give the cars a family face.

If they so much as lay a hand on the Legacy (especially the GT), there will be a lot of blood, and a lot of screaming. That car, IMO is perfection when it comes to entry/mid sport/luxury sedans. If they put the inverted trapezoid scuba man mouth thing on that I will just be furious.

The bug eyed WRX was fine, the rounded nose one works out great too, but why oh why would they add that eye-lifted, sectioned off front end to it?! Totally unnecessary. I wanna see a press release explaining their reasons.

Don't like the tribecasized facelift. It just seems too busy there up in front. Glad I bought the 2005. But then again, I don't think the STI or WRX for that matter was meant to be a "looker". These cars are about AWD performance and I think most people buy these cars for that reason. If they wanted a nice looking performance sedan...well then...Lexus fits the bill.

Why in the world did they make that funny facelift? It looked sweet the way it already is.
