moviemadness Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Well, the car is ugly with that grill. The rear lights would have been cool a few years back, but now they're just tacky. Go to NASIOC.com and look at the photochops they've done. I think the car looks pretty good with a few exterior changes. In a model year or two, I think they'll be looking a lot better. link please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaWolverine Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 The first one is more my style, but it's still not enough IMO. I think they should change the spoiler on that first one. It looks good, but that Evo X has good enough looks and you know it's performance will be sick. Also, the hatch looks good, except put the subaru winged emblem in the middle of the grill like in some of the other designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natheya Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 That top one is pretty cool. Anything that low wouldn't be capable of driving to work around here.. I would lose the bumper in the parking lot somewhere.. On a positive note I could plow my driveway with the nose of that car. I like the grill style. They should move the symbol and trim down on the production versions like the Legacys and the above pic as it looks way better. The other versions remind me of Mazda Protege fronts or something.

oddseth Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Those chops are nice but they still don't take into consideration that the bumper/front spoiler does not integrate well at all with the grille or headlights. That is my main problem with the actual model, aside from the hideous grille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Off the hate train...onto the has potential train. I am a little more upbeat about it this week...white is where it is at. This is a little low for my roads and weather. I hope they do fender flares and such from the factory for the Sti and maybe an option group for the WRX? There is another shot of the hatchback w/the sedan tail lights and it looks 1000% better. http://www.jamesmcintoshjr.com/forums/files/impreza_chopped_finalback_788.jpg My vB Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaWolverine Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 That looks like the sedan, except the new sedan has almost a useless trunk making it look like a hatchback I guess from some angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviemadness Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 with folding rear seats, it shouldn't be too bad..? by the way, those s204 rims look really nice.. can we buy those? is anyone good enough at photoshop to chop on to the legacy?

LawGT Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I still think the back looks like a kia (with slightly smaller tail lights). It's just outrageous and hideous. http://a904.g.akamai.net/7/904/506/v0011/images.autobytel.com/view/aic/KIA/SPECTRA/sdn/usa_2007_kia_spectra_sdn_4_x_exrrpass75_x.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondgraymetallic21 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 See even with the chops the car does look "better" but it still looks nothing like a Subaru, you can pull out pieces of just about every other car besides a Subaru, ridiculous.

rabydanimal Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 What does a Subaru look like? I don't think anyone has ever called my Legacy a Subaru. In fact, the only person who even acknowledged my car as what it really is was the driver of a highly modified WRX. I've seen pictures of half a dozen cars on here that look like the Legacy in one way or another. I am not a fan of hatchbacks despite their versatility. I would rather have full blown wagon or sedan (or a hatchback that looks like a sedan). It's really unfortunate they will only be offering the WRX STi as a hatch. I don't know why Subaru is marketing a European design in the US. I am not European and I don't want a bloody hot hatch! Please god Subaru, why don't you listen to us about the Legacy STi? Why are you pussyfooting around with this SpecB sh*t? Give us what we want. I will be patiently waiting for the redesigned Legacy. Maybe with some Toyota goodies and STi power/handling (please SOA, PLEASE)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegGTLT Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Because it's been said waaaaaay too many times. In all honesty, that's what everyone seems to think due to the fact that other versions in other countries are said to be a hatch, see here in the FAQ. Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

AKSubie Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Not to mention that A good majority of people currently owning WRX's wanted an STi wagon.. so instead of alienating the sedan people, compromised with a hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfxdave99 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 how do you know the STI will only be a hatch? http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/hatchbacks/112_0705_2008_subaru_impreza_wrx/ The STI will be available globally only as a five-door hatchback when it goes on sale next year, just as a new Prodrive Impreza hatchback battles the all-new Ralliart Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X in the World Rally Championship arena.

moviemadness Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 it seems to be more of a speculation than a fact. I won't believe it until i see one. This author of this article gives out a vibe of disappointment, to almost depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKSubie Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 ya, at best it'll wind up liek the bugeye, run for a year, maybe 2, then get changed to appease the masses, then couple years later change again... and by then everyone will wish they stayed with this design.
