oh my god, wtf did they do? They took that ugly front end off of their ugly suv and stuck it on this
OH MY F'N GOD IT' S SUper ******* ugly. If it wasn't for the middle piece in the middle of the grill, I think it might not be so bad. Then there is the wheel gap, holy crap.
For a company that changes the front end more often then any other company, you would thing they could get it right...just once.
yuck
And their interior's..... it's like a low rent Chev.

a low rent chevy? (somewhat redundant) dude... what you been smokin? it's obviously no lexus but, and I hate to say this, the interior is far better quality than our msp. Have you actually been in an 05 wrx? Seriously, while it might not win any awards, the interior is actually quite nice. very tight... no nvh issues like our cars. also, since when did low rent chevys come with automatic climate control, momo steering wheels and easily one of the best set of bucket seats around?
as for the rest of the car... the more you guys say it sucks the more I like it. I went to my local subaru dealership to see one in person (rs model) and am definitely diggin the new look. IT'S DIFFERENT!! Jesus H Christ you guys... for a bunch of msp drivin non-comformists you sure come across as the types that just like things to stay the same. sometimes change for the sake of change is a good thing. Besides, it's not like the current look is anything great. you can't even really call what they've got on it now a grill. it's more like a couple holes they gouged into the front end. it only looks "good" because it came after the love it or hate it styling of the bug eyes. since most people seemed to hate that look the more conservative look of the 04-05 was a welcome change. while it may not be something people instantly fall in love with, at least it's got some personality to it. the fact that the new look is causing such a stir, believe it or not, is probably great news for subaru. as the saying goes, bad publicity is better than no publicity. like many cars that came before it and many that will come afterwards, as these cars start poppin up around town the look will begin to grow on those who dont' like it now.
as for the tribeca... call me crazy but I dig that too. subaru's always been known for being a bit quirky in their approach. the buy eyed wrx was really the first time they showed any balls in the styling dept since the svx and wedge shaped (can't remember the name) car of the early 90s. every other car they've produced have been about as bland as any other car on the road. to me, it's nice to see a them mixin things up a bit. while the new look is far from perfect, IMO, it's a step in the right direction.

still like the 05 front end better myself, but I like this one just as much when you consider the 2.5 and all that glorious boost. Like some of you have said, it will grow on us. When I first saw this front end earlier this year, I threwup in my mouth. Now It's not so bad, and I could easily see myself dealing with it in trade for what else you get.

the interior looks VERY similar to my 05 rs wagon...

easily the best picture I've seen yet. that hood is sick.
I knew I recognized that front end & hood from somewhere (save for the hood scoop):

so I take it you're not feelin the new look either. let's just put it this way... hold out final judgement until you see it in person. (it's even better if you see it next to a current gen) if you've already seen it and STILL think it blows... i guess I can live with that. as for me, it might as well already be in my garage. s*** is da bomb!!!

I'm just going to take back what I said about this car originally. The front is really growing on me. Especially in this color. The wheels and height of the car needs some help, but I've seen much more pics of this car now, and it's really not as bad as I thought.
Nice. I wouldn't mind one at all. That extra lip on the front makes a huge difference for some reason
