It looked a bit pants in the first press pics, but the first time I saw it in the flesh it was a million times better! I see them every day now and really like it

I actually like the new '06 Impreza.

I like the 'classic'
I like the 'bug-eye'
I don't like the 'Blob-eye'
I like the 'Hawkeye'

Didn't like it in the pictures I saw but I really like it in the flesh, Slightly biased though because ive just ordered a new one to replace my 03 wrx.

Cool

I like it that much I`ve bought one !. Just waiting for March for delivery.
Who cares what it looks like if they have done like they say they have and designed the new front end to give maximum benefit to the new Xenon headlight set up. You have to say the old headlight set up needed improving now don`t you ?.

You don't like the blob eye ? Each to their own, of course.

Can I guess you have a bug-eye?

I think that all versions look pretty good - we are only talking about headlights mainly... and who buys an Impreza to win beauty contests.

I like the 06 model... and modified they are going to look stunning.

Personally I think the blob eye headlights on the WRX version slightly unbalance the car. They just look a tad too big to me... but the STi spoiler seems to balance them out somewhat.

I've got a bug-eye... and yes I have no issues with the front end now it's been de-tango'd... if I did I wouldn't of bought it. And it's not 'slow' either...
