The middle part at the front looks fucked up imo, and it looks to much like mitsubishi's new range.

Hi,

Well it appears that the WRX still maintains its tag as one of the ugliest cars on the road. The first ones were ugly and they just don't get better looking.

Looks like to me that Subaru were lazy and raided the Saab parts bin and got the lights off the 9-5 Confused

That is one fugly car but they would have done it's design maybe for rally aerodynamics or something along those lines...

The ugly nose is the new corporate front, they're going for something which is supposed to look like the front of the old planes they used to make.

Personally, I think it looks a little wrong, but it will grow on my, it's the rear quarter view which looks the most awkward in my opinion. Gf has a MY99 WRX, that looks awesome, if a little weird in profile (being a Jap sedan and all), her uncle drives a MY05 STi and that thing looks cool, especially from the front.

I dont really mind it at all, it takes a while but it grows on you. The new front grille design will eventually filter through the entire subaru range, its sposed to be a throwback to the good ole days of aircraft manufacturing with the centre grille being the fuselage and the outer grilles being wings.

I have a '99 RX Impreza..Had its since new..not a WRX BUT .I love it..the model after that was ugly9even the dealers said so) and the brand new one is worse..Fuji Industries have gone the way of parts of Toyota and Mi'bishi...imposing their god awful shapes on the world..I have hope though...have just read about the IS350..could never afford one but nice to know Toyota has maybe just maybe woken up..
The 2 dr STi from 1999 would be my choice of weapon...if I had a choice.. Rolling Eyes
PS If I have offended anybodies personal sensibilities or tastes...get over it..I took the heat for years when I got my Subi...Funny car/short arse/stubbi/all front no bum ...blah blah blah..but I did not give a rats..and still don't ...Cheers...

Im hoping the diff trickery will more than make up for the Alfa-esque styling. WRXs are functional. You can't take that away from them.

That intake has heaps of room for radiators of all kinds, oil, intercooler, tranny...

Exactly my thoughts. The spoiler over the rear window is rather unecessary too. As has been pointed out out, the Rex is a functional car, but that is not a green light to make every second model digustingly ugly.

I saw those initial pictures, and I thought great, that looks shit. Then I saw the ones from Wheels, and I thought hey that doesn't look as bad as I first thought.

I drove to work today and had a GOOD squiz at a current model WRX, and I thought to myself, it's a marked improvement over the bug eyes, but still not as cool as the MY99 I was driving. Then I saw these third pics, and I actually genuinely like it now, it's not pretty, no. Functional yeah and it looks tough Razz
