Pics of new & old look WRX side by side

I think the new WRX looks better than the old one, except for the fog lights. Those new fog lights are amusingly small. They should've kept the nice big round ones.

Hood scoop looks a little goofy. They look like they are set too far back, I'm sure thier's a reason for that, just my opinion though.

I agree with ru4real...the new WRX looks better, I like those improved headlights but those tiny foglights?

smaller foglights prolyl means they're more efficient, and smaller chance of getting broken

dayum, the bug eye subie must have sucked so much...lol subie changed the design after like what, 2 years?

it's sad but true. i heard subaru caught a lotta flack world wide from the redesign in 2001 (2002 stateside). in all honesty, the new design and the new new design don't hold a candle to the 93-00 body imprezas (strictly based on looks imo).
