Looks fantastic IMHO, has recaptured some of the styling cues of the old style

Thumbs down

Doesnt get my vote, went to Gatwick Subaru the other week they had the new STI-8 and a Evo 7 FQ300 next to each other, STI-8 seemed a little bulbous and bluky still imho, IF I had to choose between EV07 and STI-8 For looks for me the Evo would get it.....

Generalising wildly I think those that like the classic shape prefer the new look while those that like the bug eye look don't like the update.

becoming a yawwwwwnnnnnn type thread now

Sorry, but do you all really buy the cars for their looks or performance and handling

In my opinion all the Impreza's are ugly and I have each version so far and soon to be Sti8

I thought the WRC cars looked good on Friday, after that they didn't look so good.

Picked my STi 8 up last night and I think its lush!

The scoop is a little big though, doesn't look too bad from the outside, but from inside its huge!

Definately an improvement over the bug-eye! (IMHO)

they just seem to make them worse each time they try. Even the evos have gotten worse since the evo6.

They need to do some major re-styling to get the subarus looking as sexy as they did when they designed the TypeR

The new one looks better than the fugly's

But I've gotta say, I still don't think they look as good as the '99/'00, which were never the nicest looking cars anyway.

Who buys an Impreza for its looks anyway?
