I've been waiting for these. And it looks like a Toyota Corolla.

I like it. It looks good. I would still buy a GC over it though.

yeah, looks kind of like a corolla crossed with mazda 6 with a scoop. Pretty bland.
Final ruling: Meh.

Looks like a Corolla / Kia mix. At least the grille will be easier to change out. I could live with it.
At least the sedan gets normal taillights. The wagon's are horrid, with a big chrome strip.
I want to see the 3 door STi!

Not too bad. Could have been worse.
Subaru has always had pretty bland styling. '89-'94 Legacies might as well be an Accord/Stanza/Camry for the same years. The orginal '93 Impreza was kinda plain till we got the 2.5 RS. Actually it seems that most Japanese manufactures seem unwilling to take the same kind of styling chances American makers do. I guess Mazda is one notable exception. Nissan, of late, also.
Regardless of how it looks, I bet it drives fantastic. And the STI should actually match the EVOs handling now that we get a double wishbone suspension. Also the 3.6 H6 is now officially in the Subaru lineup and is a longshot for the STI. Remember, an EJ25 STI was a longshot in 2002 also.

Now that I've seen actual press-release pictures...
... I might change my mind.
Yep, that's right. I might...
...
...
like it...
Is it a little bland? Yeah kinda. Does it look like a Corolla? In a way, not a good one. Am I afraid the car is going to be WAAAY too soft aesthetically? Yeah, a little.
But am I so very extremely glad the Edsel nose is gone? You better f'ing believe it!
Stand by. If you're really THAT interested in my opinion anyway
More pics on NASIOC, the new Tribeca is in there too:

Hideous.
Funny, the google ad picture at the bottom of the screen right now is for the new Toyota Camry. Oh Google, your irony never ceases to amaze me.

Why do car companies hire designers when this is the crap the committees end up letting out? I'd pay money NOT to drive one, but at least it's better looking than the hatch.

The Corolla has more room for a FMIC
Like someone else said, "at least it's smiling"

So they're targeting the Regis and Kelly crowd with the new WRX?
