Yea, well I'll give it time to grow on me too.

It looks like a pudgy Toyota Celica, how can anyone like that? Fugly!

But I like bugeyes, so I guess my sense of style is all out of whack anyways.

soggynoodles · 2005-04-14, 06:44 AM

I really don't like what looks like the double decker wing.

khail19 · 2005-04-14, 06:55 AM

One side of that wing looks way off from the other side. I'm gonna guess P-chop.

Yeah, Pshop indeed, there are no plans for a hatch that I've heard of. I wish there were, but doubt it.

I'm sure that's a photochop... There's no new hatch coming, as far as I know.

Man, AutoExpress sure is turining into the photoshop master lately.

AtomicLabMonkey · 2005-04-14, 08:06 AM

That front grille is retarded. Their designers need to put down the bong.

ryball · 2005-04-14, 08:14 AM

That is TOTALLY p-chopped. What is with the crappy celica rear end? That is terrible.

oh, and...

You can smoke crack out of a bong.

That's clearly a chop, and not even that good of one... just at a glance:

- the license plate is from the lower image and doesn't line up with the chopped in upper grill, which means the upper grills are actually choppen in crookedly

- the right rear C pillar is from a sedan

- the wing isn't centered

- the rear end is from a Celica

- there's no door handle on the rear door

- the reflection on the side of the car (Celica part) doesn't match the reflection on the front fender

- the reflection of the side-view mirror is that of a stock STi mirror, not that of the new chopped in one

The only thing this chop has going for it is that the Alfa grill is more subtle than the previous chops I've seen. I hate that grill, but if Subaru has really decided to use it for brand identity, this is so far the most tollerable version. Subtle is better.

MikeK · 2005-04-14, 08:31 AM

If the front end of the new imprezas looks like that I will be very happy

Why, because then your front end will go from being the worst looking to the 2nd worst looking?

...at least Subaru has been consistant in making every Impreza a little worse looking than the previous.

dknv · 2005-04-14, 08:38 AM

That hood scoop looks narrow.

ryball · 2005-04-14, 08:43 AM

I like the whole "two completely different fog covers" thing it's got going on.

wrexxy · 2005-04-14, 08:47 AM

it does look very similar to a celica. if that's for real it would be a shame. i don't like it and it will never grow on me.
