[XR8-260]

I thought I would post this up as it may generate some interest. Hope it's not a repost :hihi:.

New WRX

[nommic]

Hey look, they parked it next to a whole tree full of ugly sticks - I guess it must have been hit with every one of them :

It's a shame really, I always thought of them as being one of the nicer looking mid-size cars (and with a decent smack of performance to match)

[jaydee]

Thats one ugly looking car, it looks like its constipated and its trying real hard to squeeze one out.

[Dezza]

That is awful! The WRX looked so much better as a sedan. Even the bug-eyed model looked heaps better

[Interceptor]

damn them things just keep getting uglier!

[MITCHAY]

WRX owners are well and trully up in arms about this for sure. Let's just say Mitsubishi is going to get a lot of business (not mine because I think they are as bad as eachother in beauty). I can tell you now in a poll about 80% dislike it on RexNet.

I more ****ed off that the value of my WRX is going down due to this ugly excuse of a car.

Next car will be a peanut STi, Liberty GT, or R34 GT-R I reckon. Failing that I'll be in an F6 or XR6T. I can skip on build quality as long as it looks good :

I tell you what its performance better offset it's uglyness otherwise it will be hard to sell it to current owners.

Let's face it we've put up with the bugeye and pignose and now is the time to say bring back the GC8.

Make it the cult car like it used to be and not just a victim of mass production. Bring sexy back Subaru!

The actual release is in about a week. I'm really hoping that these are chops but the resemblance to the spy shots do not work in that favour.

All I know is I'd never think about a hatch WRX and I think the only reason they are going this route is because of WRC. Still no idea on what versions we will get here.

The sedan Impreza doesn't look to bad but I doubt it will leap frog the current one in performance.

Some are hoping for 220kw for the WRX and 260kw for the STi which is easily achievable but I doubt it.

Well i guess all the dictionaries will have to be reprinted with a picture of a wrx next to the word UGLY :

My mate will be happy to have his Pig Nose CS9. Might be very sought after now :hihi:

You could buy a Mazda3 and chuck on a scoop and come up with the same result. Only difference is the Mazda looks good!

No I think the GC8 (Classic for the unknowledgible folk) and peanuts will go be more sought after with low kays. The only value in the pignose is the EJ25 and that's it.

[mik]

looks a bit busy at the front , not sexy like the early ones.

[zx10]

They just keep butchering one of the coolest cars of our time. It has been going down hill for the last 7 years and now ROCK BOTTOM! How many different designs will they try? Should have stopped in 1999 when they peaked.

[RED FGII]

and i thought the au was ugly

[ON_DUBS]

the impreza design has been downhill since 2000,
this latest model is ugly as hell

[JC]

I reckon it looks good. Sort of a cross between the new mini, and the little Pug 207s. A bit weird, but then so was the AU and we all know how that story ended (BF).

Can't agree more except the peanut 03-05 ;) I'm biased of course though :

[Redrum]

Looks from the rear like a Daewoo Lanos........One thing about Subaru, the WRX just keeps getting uglier and uglier.........

[ThoR_]

i hioe thats a joke because that looks like the biggest piece of **** ive ever seen

[Bucket]

You would have thought the Japanese, being an adaptive fairly switched on Lot would have realised that the hatch is a mistake??

[Jayden]

what the?
what are they trying to do now? steal limelight from the mazda 6? FOOLS!!

Looks nothing like a Mazda6. Looks about 99% Mazda3 from the side profile which gives me hope that it is a chop. We will see in a couple of days!

[Ives]

I dont like it. I agree with most ppl here, it's ugly.

[JBomb3000]

The side profile looks alot like a 1 series BMW to me, the whole thing just looks plain shocking IMO.

[merlin]

That is a freaken monstrosity!

I was deadset on leasing a brand spankers WRX in September when my current lease expires (actually been looking forward to it for a while now, just to try something different) and this is what I get....yuck.

Only positive I can see is the current model will be in run out and I love the look (especially the front) of the current one.

[Brent]

Looks like a dropped pie. Terrible. We'll wait for the inevitable "it looks better in the flesh" comments once the thing is released. No thanks.

[james22]

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Gone and done it this time...

[Mechan1k]

damn .. Hyundai are making nicer vehicles now

[TheSneakiness]

That looks freakin terrible.

The only Rex models I've liked are the ones before and after the Bug Eyed model.
