2006 Subaru WRX/STI (facelifted...for better or worse?)

[sniperruff]

oink.

I know I was negative in the camry thread, but wtf is with photographers these days? NONE of those pics allow us to really see what the car looks like. They're all closeups, so we can see the grille and the back, but why no profile shot or some distance shot to take it all in? It would be like admiring mona lisa with a magnifying glass.

teh nasties

 

[cjgallen]

I like it 😱

 

[Nocturnal]

I hate it. I have no interest in that car anymore. The front end does look like a Pontiac car. Ick.

Evo > WRX

even so, I like the CURRENT one's looks, this new facelift is just hideous

BTW NFS4 I now have a thing for Natalie Portman, thanks to your pics and the last SW

Did anyone else notice it appears to have a second spoiler/wing at the top of the rear window?

Don't like it all. Hopefully they won't screw up the Legacy.

The first guy to reply in there said it best

Ehhh....I dont like it.

That front is hideous

 

[BW86]

UGLY!!!

I like it much better than the first two incarnations, but they should have done the back and sides as well. I like to be able to differentiate new models with more than just the headlights and grill.

The Mitsu Evo VIII is the better vehicle, according to Top Gear.

It does look better than the current version IMO but its still a nah

 

[SuperSix]

Meh-the look is a bit extreme

 

[SilentZero]

Oh hell no. Good thing I bought mine before this change..damn thats fugly.

 

[Vich]

i like it alot actually.

 

[Fritzo]

Does the front look like a Pontiac Grand Prix to anyone else?

The front is fine..they need to do something with the plain rear end! You can't just slap a wing on something vanilla like that and expect it to look good.

hey, look on the bright side, now there is increased airflow and birds, squirrels, midgets no longer get sucked into the engine since there are bars protecting the hood scoop.
