The tailights are awful and the scoop now looks like the mouth on one of those big manta rays. Nonetheless, anything is an improvement over the awful pig snout version from last year- widely recognized as one of the ugliest cars you can buy. The Lancer is better as well. At the auto show everyone I went with thought it was Volvo!

uhh they have these in NY car show. The hatch is not so bad. The sedan is pretty good. U see it in person.. trust me it might change ur mind. There's an N/A ( prolly around 140-160 dont remember) version and a 220 hp and awd version like usual. But in person i was pretty impressed by subaru. The sedan tailights are not the altezza and i think their all red. Mitsu has to make a ralliart version to compete with the WRX.

The STI is rumored def to be hatch only...

Subaru has lost their mind. I loved my little bugeye wrx. It was ugly but it had spirit. This thing is horribly bland. The front end looks like its smiling at me. Ugly tail lights, no fender flairs.. sigh.

I wanna see the sedan, without the tails, and in a different color.

Black cars, and not so great photos make it hard to really see the lines clearly.

For sure. Looks like a Mazda 3 hatch. The front grill and headlights look better.

I really think they followed the current Civic Type-R more than the Mazda, especially on the rear end of the vehicle:

i think a lot more than that has to go....Subbie really screwed this one up, really bad.

if the STi looks like this but has great performance and tuning potential to back it up, i'd still rock it though
