Impreza XV: Only diehard Subaru fans could like the new XV 'crossover'. To the Impreza's already ungainly shape Subaru has stuck a load of plastic add-ons, making it look even more awkward.
Wouldn't have thought it possible to make the thing any more ugly, well done Subaru

Truely hideous no argument accepted. Even it's ma couldn't luv it. The jap who designed it prob committed Harry immediately after sobering up and climbing out of his slumber tube to the realisation of what he'd done.

Yeah, but if you make it even MORE ugly, perhaps people will no longer be reminded of a Rover 25 when they see it............maybe? Oh well, maybe not, didn't Rover do the same with the 25 ?

The more I see Subaru engaging in folly like this, the more convinced I am that someone from on the board of Subaru is intent on committing institutional Hari Kari!

It's awful... Wagon or not. I always wonder, what the atmosphere was like, when the designer walked into the meeting with the proposal for that bad boy... can you imagine...
"we've got a real winner here lads...."

The orange batmobile / lambo freaky looking thing, might look a bit weird and out there, but it's a shame we don't have more different and unusual stuff out there... I hate the way all the car manufacturers try to copy each other's trends... Got to respect marques like lamborghini and ferrari for their provocative designs...

Christ that subaru really is ugly... they could put a 500bhp lump under the bonnet and 10inch tyres and it'd still have the appeal of a shed !

I recon the blokes at Rover got shipped out by the Chinese and somehow ended up as top dogs at Subaru, hence the deja vu.
