I'm not a big fan of the grille design. Personally I like the current model better. They should have brought the coupe design back with the 05 model.

Good. Modern times

Not many differences with the current Impreza

.
Only the lights and front grill-bumper.

And what's with the ugly roof-spoiler

These taillights are really ugly IMO

Looks like a mutant Alfa Romeo. GC8V was still nicer.

Believed to be the lovechild of Subaru's new Grecian chief of design, ex Alfa Romeo design guru Andreas Zapatinas, the front end incorporates a much more aggressive look that more closely resembles the Subaru Liberty/Legacy, particularly when you look at the headlight cluster.

Thats why they look like Alfa Romeo lights

Im a fan of the subaru impreza, have been for a long time... and ...the 2006 version isnt what I expected...
Example:the front is too mutch of a radical change from the 2005 version(in my opinion), it lost the agresivenes that the 2005 version gained, its more roundy like, its just not as agresively... race... like... its too hard to expline!!!

the 2005 version: awesome
the 2006 version: what the hell were they on when they were designing the front and rear

Ray · Post by **Ray** » 01 Jun 2005, 03:18

Who knows...

Lets hope the chief of design gets fired before 2007...

GOSH!! Subaru, what have you done to your baby???? From the back, it looks like Alfa Romeo, and the front bumper is horrendous IMO. 3/10.

2005 looks much better imo.

macdaddy · Post by **macdaddy** » 01 Jun 2005, 05:48

is that the actual car or a prototype?

no dice.

jacoja06 · Post by **jacoja06** » 01 Jun 2005, 06:01

I really like it!!

I love it when totally new designs come out. If you dont like it, then just buy a 2005 model

They are both great. The Subaru WRX rally car prototype looks hell EVIL

. The new front has much grunt, and 'yes', the back does look like an alfa

... ones again, change is good.

The roof spoiler probably has something to do with aerodynamics, in the vein of the deallys on the Evo.

I'm still thinking about the styling of the '06 Impreza, though. It's part of their new corporate image (something to to with aircraft heritage, I believe), and the Tribeca (which shares the same design theme) has been growing on me, so I'll wait a little until I have my final judgement of the Impreza. The rear looks decent, and the front end isn't too bad (it's fairly clean at least). I think it's marginally better than the bug-eyed Impreza.

I reckon it looks really great.

And Hercubus is right about the aircraft-look thing. This theme looks awesome on the new Forester, if you haven't seen it already.

A good step in the right direction.

bashderq · Post by **bashderq** » 01 Jun 2005, 08:45

well i'll place my voice amoungst the pple crying 4 a better design. that 'thing' looks sad, really h8 their new aircraft theme which i suppose is gonna b installed on all the cars..*sigh*..change is good, but only when in the right direction...

Doesn't look like any Fuji plane I've ever seen.

Methinks Subaru's new designer is just a little too dedicated to his Alfas.
