Looks like Subaru is trying to make all of their cars look the same again.

I kinda like it in a weird way though. I'm guessing most won't though.

Looks odd. It will probably grow on me.

I don't think it looks as bad as I thought the new Legacy did when it first came out, and that grew on me. That being said, it's not bad, but I'll need to warm up to it a bit.

Will come as a naturally aspirated 2.5L with 170hp or a turbo 2.0L with 250hp. The turbo model is losing the hood scoop and instead getting a more aggressive front end over the NA model. It comes with either a 6MT or a 6/8CVT.

Not bad spec wise....

Comparison of NA and Turbo:

Its not bad... but I am not digging the no scoop on the turbo thing.

The grill area also reminds me of a Ford Focus though.

Subaru really needs to fire and/or murder whoever designed the wheels on that turbo forester.
The rest of it looks OK, but I nearly gagged when my gaze hit the wheels.

It almost looks like an aggressive boxy Legacy wagon when it's lowered via photoshop.

It kinda looks like they decided to redesign the old JDM Blitzen wheels, and I agree. If I got one, I'd lower it and change out the wheels first.
I do like the front end of the XT tho.

I kinda like the wheels. They remind me of blitzen wheels.

[Wiscon_Mark]

I actually really like the N/A version's front end. Kinda looks like an updated 03-05 SG chassis model before they ruined it in 06.

Turbo version is more aggressive, which makes sense.

[SILINC3R]

kind of reminds me of the Velostar Turbo front end. I do like the way that car looks though so i guess its ok.

[Navi271]

I think I like the front end of the XT because it has that big mouth bass look. The veloster does too. I think I want a car with a wider front bumper than the one I currently own. lol

The N/A one looks good too.

I get dibs on you wheels then! HAHA... I like them for some reason on the Turbo car.

All I have to really say is that this car is much better looking then the new Legacy...
