Default 2008 car "eye" name

I find myself sitting early on a saturday morning pondering one of the toughest questions of all time.....what are we going to call the new car ?

Seems our beloved vehicle is always referred to by its recognised headlight design.

First we have the "classics", then we got the "bugeye, then followed the "blobeye", with the "hawkeye" completing the story thus far.

If the new design continues to disappoint and get so much mixed feedback, do Subaru run the risk of us naming this incarnation the "japseye" ???



Discuss.

The last one, I wanted to be the jap'seye, due to it's vertical grille

This one is so ugly, it ought to be called the "bog-eye"

I also think S/N ought to run a sweepstake on how long before Subaru change it...........

Cant we just call it 'New Age' since its a complete departure from the other Impreza formats, after all we're happy saying Classic without a hint of mentioning its eyes!
