The Tribeca has a new face.

 

[Donas64]

So let me get this right. They made the Tribeca look MUCH better while making the WRX look MUCH worse? MADNESS I tell you, MADNESS.

Is Chris Bangle working part time at Subaru now?

Um.. wtf @ the sedan looking like some sub 8k dollar car from the rear? what a cheap piece of s*** subaru is trying to push on us.

This is sooooo whack! I just warmed up to the body style they have out now. Now i just went numb!

 

[Donas64]

Its like they are TRYING to screw themseleves over. I just got used to the bugeyes then they brought in the funny nose. I was warming up to the funny nose and then thy bring out this beast with baleen for a grille. Not a chance.

The only bad thing about this is the values on old WRX's probably just went up upon relase of these pictures. Makes it more expensive for me when I want to get one.

Oh my goodness you're right!!!!

Thats just scary.

oh man, it's got no aggressive flares on the sides like before and kinda now resembles the legacy, and that grill reminds me of those new chrysler sebrings

(notcool)

I think the front won't look too bad if you change to an open style grille, without a visible mesh.

And fix those ugly headlights!

and fix the ugly sides, ugly rear, ugly taillights, ugly lips, ugly fenders, ugly wheels.. I could go on and on. Maybe I need to sell my Protege5 and get a bugeye wrx now before they become way too valuable.

Thats exactly what I was thinking. I was considering one of those for my next car but as ugly as this new imprezas are, the old ones are going to go up in value and get out of my pricerange.

You all know Toyota bought GM's shares in Subaru, right?

yup.. Never thought Toyota having a stake in the company would make things bad

Toyotas are boring in performance, handling, and styling (Besides the new Camry and Scion tC. So this is translating into Subaru which I think is a bad thing. Atleast the Alfa/Fiat designer is gone. I hope Toyota's interior fit and finish helps Subaru out.

toyota's interior in a soobie....hmmm, that would be interesting, that is IF THE OUTSIDE WASN'T SO HIDEOUS.

Oh my. It baffles me. A company that changes it's front end of this car so often, and can never get it right.

 

[Mr. 4500 RPM]

well ill be checking this out later tonight, ill have a review from the auto show about the interior. but this is a good thing for all of those wanting a 07 wrx and sti since those prices will go down once the new one comes out.

 

[Mr. 4500 RPM]

doesnt the hatch sorta look like a cx7/9? or is it just me?
