Never been a fan of Subarus really – however now have the RS Sedan in black and, whilst there are better cars on the market, this car provides all you need in a family car. I dont think it looks at all bad, much better in reality than it seems to be given credit for, and provides a 5 star safety rating…for a wife and baby to drive around in you couldnt ask for more. Depends on what you want I guess?

My first thought, without reading the comments, was:

“Hideous – Hyundai”.

It looks nothing like what a Subaru should. No way would you catch me looking at one of these when I go to buy a new car! How sad Subaru!

Being a big Impreza fan myself. i reckon that subaru has gone the wrong way about this car. Sure the chassis is better than it was and the numbers have improved, but styling doesn’t appeal to me.

They’ve gone with cheap details and the rear looks like a kia rio sedan. your not getting anywhere with that kind of styling on a great car.

But i can’t wait til the STi version comes out!! hopefully the styling will look fantastic. (as they’ve done with the hatch)

Sure the front’s better looking than the rear, but it’s just all wrong!

I can’t believe it. I’m sure the new car is brilliantly engineered, safer and amazing to drive in typical Subaru tradition, but It’s looks simply don’t cut it. It looks tacky.

The original GC8 Impreza was a typical bland early 1990′s styled Japanese car. Subaru struck success with the WRX variant by simply tarting it up with a bodykit and go fast parts. It worked.

Now, it seems they are simply trying too hard for the sake of giving us something new. I would be happier looking at facelifts of the MY01-07 for the next few years than this.

‘Mazda6 Ditto….’

????Suprised!!!!

Actually, the new 6 is getting good praises in terms of style, espeically in Europe – as good as the Germans. I think Mazda is blowing the Germans away in terms on styling (just look at their concept cars) and is to date the only Japanese manufactuer to do so far successfully. Lexus is also on the right path as well.

But in general, Japanese cars are bland and sometimes weird in styling.

The Impreza would take the gold medal.

blame it on ” bangleism” , all the japs have lost the plot
honda euro lost , its euro look , now another bloated camry look a like . mazda 6 ditto . i weep for the next liberty .

they caught the bangle disease and they just over style every new model that pops up .

back to europe for style , the germans are blowing them out of the water on looks
