I'll admit at first I found it very odd looking especially the front which seems to have too many openings. But its grown well on me now, I actually believe its the best looking one to date. Interior is still shoddy though. What are everybody's opinion on the new wrx's? |

Hell Yeah! I love the dramatic new style, including the front! I guess I've always had a soft spot for rex's... I'm yet to see one of these on the road tho...

For some reason 'nubira' just jumped into my head when I saw the front, and upon doing a quick google search (it would seem that I remember a name before I can remember the look), the similarity in the upper area is definitely there. The rear is nice though

Hated the front till I saw one in the flesh. Then it all feel into shape and now I have to agree the front is very aggressive. It never looked right in the pics but in the metal its finely balanced and in proportion.

The front is tragic though it looks ok in those photos. Seen a few on the road and they're just way too busy from the front end. Looks like they're trying to take their styling cues from Alfa.

I dont think it will look any different to the last few models torn into bits or wrapped around a telephone pole !!!! I thought of a deawolden when I first saw the front!

I like it, I've seen a few in the flesh and their nice cars. Not the best looking model but I would love to have one.

Not a fan of the wing nor the grille, but its overall shape is awesome ;) |

I didn't mind the original WRX but ever since they went to the bug-eyed front, then tried to fix it up, and now this, I can't handle these things. They're fun to drive, but I'd hate to have to look at one in my garage every day.

The front is poxy, rear average. The last one grew on me but I doubt this one will.

Do not like the front or the rear wing. Interior still iffy on. The shape is alright. I haven't seen one in the flesh so I cant truely say.
