It can’t be SO ugly, SO boring, SO uninspired, SO dull, SO dissapointing !!!!
I was thinking of buying the new model but now I am 100% sure that I won’t. Maybe the new Mitsubishi Evo X, or even the current fantastic Mazda 6 MPS will be my next choice.
WHY Subaru ?

]]>WELL DONE SUBARU BODS!!!!!!
]]>The hallmark of great design is a consistent theme across the entire range. The make of the vehicle should be clear – even if all badging is removed. If any German manufacturer launches a new model, or if you see spy pics, it is immediately clear who the manufacturer is.
In the Subaru stable it is impossible to link the Forrester, Legacy and Impreza (not to mention the ever-changing Tribeca). This shows you that there is no design direction in the group.
The only thing Subaru had going for it was that it was a car for the individual. Now that has also been destroyed with the new Impreza for the mass market.
It’s the end of the “Scooby world†as we know it boys. We will just have to accept it.

“
With the philosophy of “customers come first†at its core, the plan addresses five major challenges.
1. To provide a distinctive Subaru experience for drivers and passengers
2. To increase sales globally
3. To strengthen competitiveness in quality and cost
4. To also grow through the business alliance with Toyota
5. And to grow the level of employees competence and so enhance the organization
“
I guess all of this talk about customers come first is just nonsense… NO COMMENT.
This is not a Subaru….
Windowframes…after market lexus-like taillights for Chevrolet Lacetti… air holes on the dashboard (left-right) from the 90’s impreza…a/c buttons/controls from last impreza…front lights and a pumber from a 90’s corolla or civic…and a sideview of a wannabe mazda 3 car… forgot to mention the 80’s golf antenna!
Probably their next “improvement” would be a “in series” engine insted of boxer…. and the revolutianorary….front wheel drive…
SO, ..IT SUCKS!…
]]>The thought of the STi having a new edgy style, grabbed my attention and made me hope for something that would make me give up the hatchback lifestyle. But, I must say that if Subaru plans to use this as the basis of the new STi, they have a lot of work to do.
It seems more and more that the design cancer that is plaguing the American auto industry has bled into Japan as well. I’m sure they are trying, but something has to come of this, either a kick in the teeth when Mitsubishi wipes the sales floor with Subaru next year, or some drastic management changes like what happened at Nissan a few years ago.
Subaru must realize that the world is tired of bland designs like what we’ve seen from the “Big Three†and they better come up with something soon because AWD isn’t as a unique feature as it once was, especially to hold a car company above water and out of bankruptcy.
]]>How about having a point of view with your design aesthetics, instead of trying to be the next bland big car company.. !
Subaru has a history of innovation …Where did it all go..? Always about the $$$ .Probably have some fat cat US marketing manager from GM…Running that shit..
Disappointing.. You’ve now insured I will be buying the new M3 . Bollocks to ya..!
