Interesting to hear whether you fellow scoobynetters feel that Subaru have got the styleing right at long last. Is the MY03 better styled than the MY02.


MY VOTE GOES TO THE MY03 - HOW BOUT U?

IMO, Yes!

The 99 & 00 will always be my favourite though (wagon of course )

Love the classics.

like the bug eye with headlight coversion.

And after seeing the My03 at the Autosport show got to say
I like it not love just yet, but cant afford that sort of love yet..

so yes one vote here...

Mick

Have only got a pic of the front end of the My03 that i took at the Autosport show..

Too soft around the edges and needs more aggression. I love my MY99 but i prepared to admit it does seem a tad old hat when parked next to a Bug eye. The only way in this world however i'd own a bug eye is if it's fitted with morettes. I think the Bug is a touch soft around the edges too but i can't run mine for the rest of my life.

The front end is a lot better than the standard looking WRX, but I prefer the bugeye with the UK300 headlight conversion done. The scoop on the MY03 is a bit OTT.

Surely we all love Scoobs because of the old classic? Has anyone really just started liking the Impreza from the MY01?

We WANT some bonnet vents for gods sake!!!!!!!

Would make all the difference

NOTHING comes clsoe to the classic, it looks mean, is mean, I mean its just mean!! the classic STILL gets the kids around it!! something the BugEye or MY03 I doubt will ever replicate.

Also, Subaru NEED to start winning rallies again!

no, I don't like the new scooby shape at all. I have the money to buy one but would rather spend it on TypeR, some trackdays and maybe a holoday

I much prefer the classic shape and the most beautiful scooby was deffinetly the STI5/6 TypeR

For STi's, prefer 7 to 8... Hate the scoop on 8, and the smoked glass tones down the bugeyedness on 7.

For WRXs (which is what you've actually asked) I just marginally prefer '03, though my vote, like so many others, remains with 'Classic'.

Saw the MY03 at Subaru Nottingham in the flesh for first time. Sorry, but the scoop is plain ridiculous. Still my P1 still looks awesome sitting next to the MY03.

Nothing beets the MY99-00, so I have to go with the Classic Scooby!
However the MY03 is way better the MY01-02, and as you guys have already said: We WANT some bonnet vents for gods sake!!!!!!!
The bonnet is "naked" without the vents, w/ our w/o MY03 STi scoop!

IMHO nothing beats a 22B. Saw the MY03 STI V2 in the flesh today plus a test drive. Not much in it between the two (had to be conservative as the car was still running in). I do think that the MY02 STI V1 Prodrive (now limited edition by 750 units) looks more agressive compared to the facelift version.
