saw a new saturn wagon on the road today. made me think....

Exhibit A:



Exhibit B:




Some might say saturn is a year or 2 behind in styling.

those saturn headlights are disgusting.....they make me want to vomit

I agree with the both of you. I thought the new Saturn front end looked similar to a Legacy, but it shows all the ways Subaru could have really screwed up with the Legacy's styling. Glad Saturn did it and not Subaru!

you guys got that right... that car is fugly

the body is very gen1 legacy, however i think those headlights borrow from the ford contour more than anything... circa 1998

can anyone else see that?

Yeh, I can see it. Contourish indeed.

It was the quasi-slanty headlights going into the honeycomb grill that got me looking. then I saw a few other ques. but I definitely see the contour. oh well.

My legacy doesnt have honeycomb grill... and i dont remember seeing one in person
b4 that picture i never knew some subs had that crappy honeycomb grill

LS and LSI had the honeycomb, L had the straight lines.

I dont like you calling it crappy either

I don't want this to flare up, but I hafta agree with Ciper on this one. What's wrong with the honeycomb grill? If I found a honeycomb grill in as good of shape as mine, I'd probably put it on...

now now... everyone doesn't have to like honeycomb grills. but crappy is such a "hurtful' word. maybe we should all use the thesaurus a little more often.

ok, enough Mr. Rogers... At first glance it does look like someone put some weird front clip onto a Legacy Wagon. along with some umm... "sweet"? wheel covers. i detest (<-- thesaurus) wheel covers!

ok
ok
I take back My crappy comment


how bout this
I prefer the strait bars
honeycomb is a bit 80's
and im only 16 so I havent grown up in those times

I bet you prefer the tail lighs of the 92-94 as well?

edit

From what I know the honeycomb design on other vehicles was to increase air flow, who knows subaru's motivation

I do, I liked my tail lights on my 93 because i could take out the orange cover for the turn signal essentialy making them red and clear with hyper white bulbs it looked sweat but the tail lights on the 91 have really grown on me I dont know why it must be the immitation carbon fibre outline border deal oh yeah what the hell is saturn thinking ugly

I dig honeycomb grills. but that's jsut me. maybe not on '85 GLs, but definitely on the legacies. and 100% for sure on the new Imprezas and Legacies both.

The honeycomb grills would be excellent grills to mod. Cut the honeycomb out....keep the emblem in the middle....have everything painted to match the car......you got one sweet grill.
