I agree with Lukey. I don't think it looks too bad. The more I see it the more it grows on me.

It may be a ford forum, but this topic falls under General Topic/The Pub Section.

It is an absolute shocker. The whole hatchback design looks too different to the sedan or small wagon type designs that the Impeza has used for years. It would be like if the new Orion Falcon came out and it was a 5 door hatchback. It's too different, and the new WRX looks way too bland.

All Japanese cars are dim sims on wheels - ask Ted Bullpit!

Oh yeah a chop someone did for their sig

I think the hatch looks like a dodgy cross between the BMW 1-series and Mazda 3. NBG!

The chop on the right is an Aurion, what's going on there?

I dont mind i know Saburs already handles well i sat in one and its a good car that is good with preformance and fuel. Its good that they are giving a answer to the hot hatches that starting around in Australia.

I dont mind getting one myself to honest i saw the current model once out on the street and its look great

HOON69 · 13-06-2007, 05:48 PM

I hate the look style and overall appearance of em
but hey as long as its fast its all good

Want i can't believe is that these people that keep designing these AU falcons and 2008 impreza actually get them out into production without anyone saying Hey it looks terrible and what are you thinking. Hundreds of people see them before there made and not one person says anything. Who here would have seen the AU1 Forte and said "Good work mate youv'e got it just right were going to kill em" not a hope in hell. I mean they are so bad but out of a whole company no one has the balls to say you losers what were you thinking. Any worse still they keep there jobs

All the workers canned the AU when they were shown it a year before release, and it polled quite badly in customer evaluation clinics. And they still released it. They got what they deserved for being so ignorant after it bombed.

As for the WRX, what a piece of crap. Subarus designers are well and truely lost and don't know which direction to go. It will drop in sales just like the bug eye WRX did. Sales nearly halved.

Josh_XC · 13-06-2007, 06:31 PM

what the fudge did they do to the rex. I have to say ive never been impressed with the evo but the new one looks amazing and just stunning.

Falc'man · 13-06-2007, 06:32 PM

Imo it's not ugly. The real problem I think is it looks too soft - not aggressive like its predecessors. Now I'll go read the write-up.

Vdouw · 13-06-2007, 06:38 PM

If i was in the market for a new sports sedan i'd be going the EVO X any day over all makes and subi has been kicked a of t to the bottom of the list.

**El Venom** · 13-06-2007, 07:31 PM

its butt ugly. It seems that car makers are more interested in making the car more environmently friendly and making them seem faster while making them slower. Surely with the ammount of cash they spend on designing the car they could atleast make it look good other wise or the enviro stuff the do to the car will be pointless

What would he know about cars???
He drives a Kingswood....

Again we are comparing a WRX to an EVO which is some $20k more expensive..Lets see the STI as comparo first...
From my understanding the bonnet vent is going due to accident damage to humans...

Yeah it is an Aurion. We take the **** out of everything, even our own over there

:

Basically we were drawing similarities with Toyota and yeah they chopped one for a laugh.

schnoods · 13-06-2007, 08:50 PM

That is terrible. Damn shame as mechanically they were great too.

ClevlndStemer · 13-06-2007, 11:33 PM

The white doesn't look too bad, bordering acceptable. However still a horrible looking car. Although the lancer is no better.

Citizen · 14-06-2007, 02:57 PM

Huge, huge mistake on the hatch back. From the side it makes it look like a Mazda 626... or something.

Sedan version plz.

And yet they dominate the world market, are better built, more efficient and make more profit than any other car co.

FYI: Dim sims aren't even Japanese......typical bogan comment
