I hated the BugEye and was not alone.

I quite like the BlobEye.

The new one is weird looking.

That looks like it has taken part in a Very Dodgey Dukes Of Hazard Stunt, Landed on it's **** end & bent the Chassey !!

But Oddly it looks good & seems to have an Air of Alfa Romeo about it.

Pete - I'm looking forward to you advertising your Impreza for sale on here! Anticipating some of the comments, it should make for an interesting thread?

That'll be the rear lights lifted from a pic of an alpha then.

Wasnt this discussed a while back and general consensus was that its just a load of photoshop speculation?

I could be wrong.

If only Alfa Romeo would design it, but Subaru build it! That might just be worth considering.

agree with you there - the blob eye will be my next shape

the bug eye was a bad design IMO

the later Classic (99/00) is stil be best they have done so far - will be sorry to get rid of mine

The bugeye was only ugly from the front and lets face it if they were still making the 'classic' shape nowadays they would have a sum total of zero sales

The bugeye was only ugly with the standard lights on, with the Morette conversion it looked great in my opinion.

I sell all my cars to people I work with or know ..... it's just how it ends up.

Everyone knows how I look after my cars and that I do not thrash the bollox off them, even though they are very capable machines.

I would, maybe advertise it on here, but not as pslewis!!!

I would need to do what I haven't do up til now and create another account - but, with AutoTrader and PistonHeads to sell through there would be no need to sell here (it would be a rare beast though!!)

Personally I think the blobeye is the best subaru shape yet, apart from the hawkeye.

The "New" Impreza apparently will have a choice of Hatchback and Saloon

IIRC the new model maybe annouced at a March motorshow.

new shape looks nice but it could do with getting away from the Blue with gold wheel senario for a totally fresh look

When Subaru actually makes a "5 year" plan and thinks up a strategy, then we might see something useful.

Yeah the Tribeca must have something to do with that....NOT!

Are they doing too much Sake over there?

I've only seen one "Hawkeye" (pmsl) on the road since they came out. That's ****-poor. I'm not including sammyh's type 25 that I saw parked up at Elvington.
