I have to admit, I hated the new Subaru front end at first, but it's already starting to look good to me. I'm considering getting rid of my '02 WRX for an '07. They all have the EJ25 now, so that's sweet, and the tranny is stronger as well.



This is a lot of car for under $25K:

looks like a kia for some reason

have they touched the car cosmetically aft of the a-pillars since, like, 2000? Besides the taillights, the rear 3/4 view looks the same as it did 5 years ago

i didnt know they were already changing it, i thought that was next year. if youre gonna get that you may as we get the 9-2x aero with the gm emp discount

Ugly! It doesn't flow with the rest of the car. Does make the car look angry but it seems to small in the front and then a huge body and ass! Gah! Like those chick with the nice ass body but a small head.

It's not so much growing on me as the shock of the sheer ugliness starting to wear off.

I never noticed that until now. Perhaps I'll have to keep my bugeye. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

That tommy kaira kit is pretty hot... one of the few body kit things that looks better/cleaner than stock

I'm not considering anything until '07. I just got my car 3 months ago.

You better they are the best looking ones fo show, Im about to buy one, still stuck on wagon or sedan.

UniqueTII 09-28-2005 08:17 PM

I like the space of the wagon and I love the looks of the back, but they don't handle as well as the sedan, so you'll need to do a couple upgrades.

my local subaru, wayne subaru, seems to have the new STI with this frontend style.



I dunno in person its not too appealing.



im not sure if its an sti, it had a huge wing, bronze wheels, and was black. they dont keep it outside at night tho, and i dont like going to dealers during the day.

UniqueTII 10-02-2005 03:31 PM

I liked the new style better in person than in pictures. The car also drives really well...you can really feel the torque of the 2.5 liter over the 2.0 in mine.

trianglepower 10-05-2005 07:13 PM

I don't like the new style. The previous Imprezas are better looking IMO and I hate B9 Tribeca.

UniqueTII 10-06-2005 01:05 AM

I like the '00-'01 and '04-'05 Impreza styles the best, but I own an '02 and am thinking about getting an '06. Weird. I'm also considering a used STi or dropping around $8K into my current car.



The Impreza looks a lot better in person, IMO, but the Tribeca looks absolutely terrible. The back of that things looks like a huge fat ass.

GreyGT-C 10-06-2005 07:22 AM

i think it looks like the poop. i and I love poop!

UniqueTII 10-06-2005 09:08 AM

Too bad it doesn't look like pie.

The tribeca looks like a porsche cayenne and a buick rendevous boinked.

KoiHoshi 10-10-2005 04:20 PM

I've always liked Subaru, the early STi was a kick in the pants when I worked for a dealership. I would own one if I wasn't so hooked on saving for an FD. But they're pretty heavy too, I mean allwheel drive? 4 door? But they are awesome cars.

KingFD 10-15-2005 11:00 AM

I saw my first one today, didn't look too bad, but only got a glance as it drove past. Why do they change them so often anyway? Must be annoying for people that own the previous ranges.

UniqueTII 10-15-2005 02:51 PM

I hear they're going to stay with this style for a while.
