worst design ever, i think the front is acceptable but the tail....... terrible

well that isnt 100% what the car will look like, thats just mock ups of what people think it will look like

i hope it doesnt look like that, the tail lights kind remind me of another car, its off the tip of my tongue. Either way thats a crappy look to it.

Surley subaru wouldn't let that thing out. It looks way to much like a Alfa. Also those pics are photoshoped? the hood scoop is WAY to big.

i also hope it is the first design, the designer was from Alfa

Ugly

I like the front. It's like an F1 design, kinda like what Mercedes is doing to their recent models. To me, the car looks more pissed off. >=D but the back... eh. :/

we're screwed

Looks like somebody crossed the Tribeca and Impreza.....

It's obviously a photoshop job, just look at the rear photo, the shading is done very poorly between the tail lights making it obvious.

Jesus.....can't Subaru stick with a design for more than 5 minutes?? They just came out with this new body just two years ago......

freakray · 02-05-2005, 05:07 PM

Since Subaru plans on having the 2006 models on the lot by June, I am pretty confident you guys are buying into a hoax.
If Subaru was planning on this change, they would have announced it already, which they haven't.

Hey, if they change the design for 2006, I'll eat my words, but I don't think I'll need to.

THATS FUCKING GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh god hot flashes, :thud: (blackout)

Hmmm.... I'm not sure what to think of that.
The front does look like a Tribeca-WRX cross like someone said. Doesn't the rear look like that of the Legacy/outback??

I wish they would stop screwing around with trying to change the whole image of the car unless they have a major model change. It would be the 2nd face lift on virtually the same car, isn't it??

Well a little research can go a long way.

The design webwombat has been playing off as the 2006 model is a concept Subaru presented back in early 2004 as a 2006 model:
http://www.visual-assault.org/~eclip...es/2006sti.jpg

There has since been no decision to present it as a 2006 model, it may however become available in late 2006 as a 2007 model!

As it turns out, the game WRC2 has a 'Subaru concept' racer which is the rally car webwombat show, and I guess jumped on the bandwagon with

On the brighter side, Subaru have plainly stated their intentions to stick with the current design at least through 2006 with the usual minor tweaks to improve the car.

Looks like I won't have to worry about eating my words for a while.
