legashii Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9170 I know this is a Legacy site...but here's what I'm thinking... Heard Subaru is trying to go back to it's roots as a airplane engine manufacturer...hence the Tribeca's front end design (supposed to look like the old propeller engine design). Anyway, my point...heard all Subarus will share this front-end design at some point. How will the Legacy's new look, look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 redesign was last year....don't expect any major changes until at least '07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 There will be a facelift on the '07 model and a re-design in '09. It's the standard 2 yr / 4 yr refreshment schedule that most maunfacturers adhere to. That being said, you won't find a Legacy with as pretty a face as the '05 and '06. Prepare for the airplane/tri grille look on the '07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trm Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Seriousy i think this new nose, if go with a totally redesigned new body would look awesome. I think 06 impreza looks tacky because it's still the old body style with the new nose. Once they got the whole body to flow with the new front it should be sharp looking... At least i hope so...

axis008 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I heard right now they have Alfa Romeo's designer. I hope he doesn't go overboard with the Legacy. The current Alfas don't look bad at all. Hopefully he can do that with future Subarus. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbaohio Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 IMHO - My god that's fugly! The current WRX model is nice; 2002 - 2003 bugeyes is one of the best looking compact sedans of all time. Audi's got the schnoz trend down from the A3 to the A8 - I don't think Subie does and the Tribeca nose better not make it's way to the Legacy...or else I'll have to keep mine forever;) - "I've worked with better, but not many."

Martyr Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Tribeca nose better not make it's way to the Legacy...or else I'll have to keep mine forever Amen to that! I find the new Subaru nose design to be putrid and horrifying. If they put it on the Legacy in 2007, that will make our 2005/2006 Legacies the best ever IMHO. Just another reason I'm glad I got mine now. I mean, look at this: http://motortrend.com/autoshows/coverage/112_05_chicago_subarub907_s.jpg That just looks...hideous. It looks like it is grinning at me and has a big schnoz (nose). Sort of like Groucho Marx, or like the Joker (Jack Nicholson) from the first Batman movie. Further...I went to the Subaru site. I was unable to find a full-on picture of the Tribeca nose there in the gallery. I wonder why that is... No thanks, Martyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, my point...heard all Subarus will share this front-end design at some point. How will the Legacy's new look, look like? Do a search. The pics (of the 06 STI) and details of the redesign are over a month old already. And the 06 LGT isn't changing looks. For 07 it'll probably get a new grille and taillights.

franklin Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I think the shots of the '06 STI front end look ok. The Tribeca front end is horrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunderkind Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 i much prefer the new 06 look of the Imprezas than the 02-05 bug/blob eyes. This new ones look more aggresive. Also the alfa-look that was so hideous with the Tribeca is well executed on the Impreza. Will take time to adjust. But sure as heck easier than when the 02 bugeyes came out!
