May I quote a professional rally driver.... "aerodynamics really work, especially the new diffuser wing above the rear window. I did 2 tests, with and without the aerodynamic bits fitted. At 80km/h (50mph) and above they work, the effects are very noticeable."

Completly agree, it looks turd! and although the rear end isnt too different( almost got the de badged look right!) the front is terrible, the bonnet is nasty and the stupid spoiler on the window....well.. who cares if it works if it looks so **** a max power nerd wouldnt want it. i dont have one now and the car seams fine!!!

In my opinion, it's OK from the side and back but pretty hideous looking straight on at the front.

Personally, I'd do away with the silly middle bit of the grill and make it just a long interrupted shape like the classic - or maybe a slightly Aston Martin shape. The headlamp area would be also slimmed right down to a more even and narrow area with proper separate twin or even triple lamps set in a 'hooded look' like the new Alfa 156 model.

So all in all, it would be the new age shape with a more lean and mean front end view more like the classic.

Or maybe it would look like faintly like a 1960's style Aston Martin. Drool on......

I'm totally with yer budgie55, I think the blob eye and classic are the meanest shapes to be released . Love the new back end on the ALFA, I mean Scooby , but the front is jus... cross between a BMW 5 / Seat Ibiza. Its **** really because Subaru's are known to be 'different' but then you get models like this being released...

makes yer wanna go an buy an evo...

JUS PLAYIN!
seriously tho, I think I'll stick with mr blobby

sorry wwp8 .... as long as you like it though thats all that matters... never know I could like it on an older shape, just not on the new 06 one.

No hard feelings huh
