That looks terrible. The vehicles lines don't flow at all. And what is with the blue neon all ove rthe headlights and lower grills...

edit: removed the fail part for u guys cuz i found the handles ;)

[triplexcel]

For some reason, it just doesn't look like a subaru anymore...

Looks like the Volvo S60. Do not want that, maybe the volvo but not that.

:fuuuuu:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo:tantrum

[Spectre_Cdn]

Are those cameras on the little nubs at the top of the front side windows?

It looks like a muscular Taurus, with a body kit:

[bloodmack]

I dont feel the subie soul in this car. 0/10 back to the drawing board.

[RabidRat]

I like it.

Am I going to hell? :(

[moky]

side profile looks like a mazda6.
hmmm kinda like it. when the current gen legacy concept came out, it resembled this.

[604nguyen]

it definately looks ford-ish :crybaby:
subaru's design team has gone to shits

[Gh0stRider]

:inout:

[liu13]

looks like something pontiac would make

That looks terrible. First off it has no fucking mirrors or door handles. The vehicles lines don't flow at all. And what is with the blue neon all ove rthe headlights and lower grills...

First off, I agree that the design is fugly, but in its defence, those little bars on the doors are the door handles, which look similar to those on Aston Martins, and those little black things sticking out above the front doors are the rear view cameras.

Time to improve your concept car feature spotting abilities, bruh :D

[Jgresch]

Rear door handles are where?
Edit: found them... Rear view cameras seem like they would just snap off if someone touched them

Good thing it's just a concept!

[dogeatcookie]

Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

I would guess it'll be around that black area residing underneath the c-pillar, similar to alfa romeos. This is just a concept, no need to get your panties in a bunch over minor production details like that:D. Anyways it's still ugly as fuck...

The overall shape looks like a chevy volt

[impactX]

Looks more like a Legacy concept.

[gloors]

That's making me not wanna get the newer Impreza D: older subbies ftw

[MERXUS]

this vehicle looks terrible buddy...what are you talking about...

This is maxima....all over again...
I still think 2005 was the best LAST year for wrx sti.
(best handling, vehicle curves/lines, power)

[ilvtofu]

The profile of the car is very cool
Otherwise there are too many lines and yeah like jgresch said no flow.

I still think there is some hope for the production model, maybe it'll be more conservative and the bumpers wouldn't look like they came from other cars

[Lancerion]

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/06/2012-subaru-impreza-teaser/

Here's the production vehicle:

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/04/finalimpreza.jpg

Looks like the 2012 Civic to me.
http://www.blogcdn.com/ca.autoblog.com/media/2011/04/05-2012-honda-civic-fd.jpg

[whitev70r]

Actually, it looks like a Kia Forte to me. Looks like the older STI's have just gone up in value.

http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w298/TheCarBlogger/kia-forte-koup-blue.jpg

[Jsunu]

It just looks so..... boring.

I'll reserve judgement until they show the rest of the car though.

*edit
err maybe not so much. haha the tail light area looks similar. but never mind

[unit]

every subaru looks terrible at first.
it takes a while to start to think they look great, but eventually you'll get there.

I remember when the current generation sti came out at first everyone was bashing it, and when the wide body WRX was released everyone was like " OMFG! I WANT ONE!!!"

[FerrariEnzo]

where are the side mirrors?

[carmaniac]

Looks a helluva lot better than this:

[moky]

[Mancini]

I think it looks pretty good. Subaru needs to make a hatch/wagon version, though.

[Culverin]

As bad as it looks, at least they got rid of that stupid ginormous chrome rectangle.


If this is the STI, do want.

I fixed it for you

[unit]

^looks like it should be the next gen ford focus

[Mining]

Whats with the blue? not legal here anyway, only police can have blue lights I thought.
assuming its only for the show... or maybe its a new police car :fullofwin:

[HondaGuy]

I like the concept. The look of the quater panel/rear looks good!

[Jackygor]

Looks more like a kia/hyundai than a Subaru to me, which COULD be a good thing.

[badgerx3]

i'll reserve my judgments until i see a wrx or sti model...should be fine though, just give it time haha

[FN-2199]

:Puke:

[Neva]

good design>worst looking "hatch" evar>decent design>wtf are they thinking...
pretty much sums subaru up for the last decade

[white_guilt]

Looks like it just fucking landed here from Cybertron. They'll never top the 04-07 Imprezas. Alas...

This looks like the result of an orgy between Ford, Subaru, Nissan, Acura and BMW. Yuck.

[PiuYi]

my gawd what have we done to deserve this.....

[topcars]

i like this!

[Alpine]

lol the beast has been released..
Check out the latest pictures... I can't believe they can still design cars to look like this in 2011.

[gilly]

^ probably base model.

[turbomelon]

Seems like they took a lot of cues from the previous gen legacy, for the front fascia and shrunk them a bit.

[FRStan]

It's not bad. Hopefully the widebody goes on WRX & STi again.

[ky]

Looks like a Chevy Cruze had a child with a Mazda 6.

[Teriyaki]

Saturn ION Roofline anyone!?? What is Subaru thinking....

[Onassis]

CSX headlights

New Engine: 2.0L DOHC; 148hp and 145lb-ft, down from 170hp and 170lb-ft.

30% Better Fuel economy, but slower. (no one cares?)

Nice interior though :)

[twitchyzero]

i like it..minus the taillights..
