Looking better, but I still wonder if it is the Official "Photo Shopped" picture - note the old style wheels and rear arches. Rear view also shows old style wheels.

Wish the Bu99ers would release a real pic as I can't decide whether to hold out or modify

Bit of the Legacy look thrown in too.

How long before those grills are replaced by after market ones? and the side cut outs on the bumper look wrong IMHO.

Just Like Subaru they do one strange looking one which doesn't work and then bring out the new gorgeous model. Just look at the bugeye, this one will probably be salvaged by prodrive again. If it goes in a cycle like the bug then blob think I would wait unitl the 2007 or 8 one to come out!!

That front is different to the one in Auto Express. The Alpha shaped nose is more of a V on the picture I seen

The Autocar photoshop effort looked a lot better. It was a proper blue colour for a start...

Photoshopped. Definitely. The giveaway is the wheel arches. Those are < 2004 rear wheel arches. The 2005's are different for the wider track. Mags are also < 2004 issue. I wonder how many of these efforts are sponsored by Subaru to keep the public on their toes and the hype up. They may even use em to try out different concepts like just the grill or just the lights and see what feedback people like us give!

It's another SIAl, apparently they have dropped that ugly front end in the new B9.

New 06 Model should be a new body shape I would have thought.

I agree with Murray and so very SAIL now

You'd have thought someone would have cut and paste the new rear quarter on by now
