Subaru Impreza Facelift for 2006

[nizmokid]

Yuck!.........a real step backwards in the design! ...I also liked the late 90's WRX's!

[R34]

Liked the car hated the bugeye look.

Bought aftermarket headlights for mine.

Don't think I'll wait for the new model although a 2.5 would fix my only complaint.

Looks like it's definitely the CPV35 for me

[r34_skyline]

i don't rate it at all.  Late 90's model still the best shape

i 2nd that .

[Butler]

surely not!

[KILL HSV]

looks like e new pulsar to me...

doens't look great but will prob get used to it when it comes out...just like everything else....

totally agree, looks like an n15 pulsar

[Hiroshima Screamer]

totally agree, looks like an n15 pulsar

only difference N15 grill craps on that one...........

[Deluxe]

Looks quite bad as did the bug eyed one, but hey once we see one boosting past us in SUBI colours in the rally we'll all be cracking PHATS!!

Hey nobody here is questioning Subaru's engineering ability, however the styling (which is half the appeal of a Skyline) is just awful. That's what is being judged.

Its pretty bad, why not just stick with the current design? The current model WRX STI in black is one of the sexiest cars going around... IMHO

[TTT]

BUMP...

Got some more recent pics and a vid for you guys..

anyone change their mind about it?

[Vuster]

I actually like the new wrx look. Looks good in that clip GTST just posted. Sounded like a beehive though

[Kaido_RR]

wtf is with the grill..

dont like it

[someonestolecc]

I reckon with a kit it could look awesome.

Imagine a bonnet changeover and the front bar/grill that actually kept the line of the lights and continued to taper down into the centre.

Would looke great.

[JaFF]

Although I like the current shape more that video has changed my opinion. I think it looks better in the flesh than those original pics conveyed.

[Archie@]

not impressed by the new look, and well i actually didn't mind the "bug eye" look.... but the new one looks to much like a saab if you ask me....

[d-d]

I think it will be a real aggressive lookin vehicle on the road.

Its whether you like that look or not i guess...

[POOMBAH]

Pity, I thought Subaru were onto a good thing with their current front end design of the impreza. It's the ugly backside of the wrx's that have stopped me from loving them as much as skylines.

The ol' bug eyes actually look appealing compared to those pics

[akeenan]

pity, i like the current shape. This new one is U G L Y.

this is what everyone was saying after the last model came out.... give it time I say....

but i prefer the current model

[nemz]

looks pretty much the same with a few little asphetic changes.. still dont like it, needs to be wider and lower and look more beefier as a whole car

[TTT]

did anyone else notice on the vid clip that the rear ligts are not like the original pictures which looked like angled Alfa lights.

the rear lights in the video seem to be the same as current/bug eyes rear lights.

The picture in my post above looks great I think.
