ew.. that front end is almost the same as the '08 Toyota highlander..and the extra mirror?

[HotBoxer]

looks better than the new STi at first glance. anybody know what that thing is on the fender. i dont know why you would need three mirrors.

[Rockgod]

They use those mirrors for parking in japan

[d1giPhux]

ugly as hell. the last foresters i was actually starting to like.. and then they go and make it look like this dog. jeez.. after my legacy im SO dont with subaru. UGLY AS SHIT.

[shazapple]

its jsut a spy shot, and will obviously look different than that at the end of it.

But yeah, it looks like a rav4 that ran into a chrome paint can

That's a JDM Forester. The pictures have been out for a while:

That pic. for example, was taken off of a Japanese newspaper iirc.

[auspex]

Yeah, the toyota influence is definitely rubbing off...or vice versa

The newer highlanders look exactly like a forester at %110

[gefinley]

That's not terrible, but I definitely prefer the current generation over that. It is too Toyota-ish, which is too bad. Subaru used to have nice unique styling.

[shizznats]

gross. wth is subaru tryin to pull off here?

[subba]

la la la Mr. Negativity is here... I rate that as a POS like the 08 impreza....

[BE-Fresh]

Subaru stopped....nevermind

[StatGSR]

i like it way better than the current version..

[Perdue]

Subaru stopped....nevermind
ROFLMFAO!! Anyways, I'm still not fond of the exterior of the new impreza, and I haven't driven one, but I have sat in one at the dealership. I must say, I love the new interior. It's much nicer than the previous generation subaru's. The exterior still hasn't grown on me.

Looks like a dodge caravan had a love child with a Rav 4 or something.

[BE-Fresh]

I'm sorry, but thats mad homo-looking

[deadlydave]

I'm sorry, but thats mad homo-looking

I agree.

Did someone in subaru management cry out "all aboard the Fail Boat"?

At least it has mostly red taillights though.

[IwannaRally]

dual exhaust lol... otherwise i would drive it into a wall :|

[dodik]

could have been worse, but if you throw a more agressive bumper on it, it wont look too bad.

[Reason]

I'm sorry, but thats mad homo-looking

+1 I look at it quick and think of a RAV4

I would have thought it was a new outlander.

Beat me to it

Sorta looks like a CR-V + RAV4..... Call it 4STer?

I'm still a little peeved that they ditched this look:

Can't say I dig the new one.

I agree. There's some in that style that look sweet! Kinda hard to make a good looking auto out of the new body style. :-?

03-05 FTW

My mom has an 03 XS and I love it, just wish she would add a couple things to it, I tried to get her to trade it in for an 04 XT but she didn't go for that idea.

Subaru's getting way too much Toyota influence. Is the enthusiast market (us) doomed?

[Mr. Sociable]

Hardly. The new STi is still badass.

[blackgtbeauty]

The new one is growing on me, I's like to see the 'Sports' Version of it.

[jackoctober]

I'm in love with the 07 Forester Sports XT, trying to convince my mom to buy one to replace her shitty Blazer (AKA Blandzer). This one scares me...

[tominator]

that looks pretty crazy. cool color though.
