I thought I was the only one. I kinda like the way it looks, will never buy it, but can't hate on any one that does

I kinda like the "Tiburon". :-\

I don't give a ----. If that Sti gets up and goes like the others(or even faster)I'm all about it. I don't mind the looks, although that rear wing makes me want to puke. Do they really need that thing? Why so damn big? Is that an upper one I see, too? That better be serving some sort of ------- purpose. :-\ The front end doesn't bother me when you compare it to the other cars that are coming out with even uglier designs. :-\

the tiburon is ok....

I think the rear wing is just a marketing thing, similar to the rally car, to get some people to want it more, and if mitsu did it, they had to compete. If they added the roof wing, I would think it's functional, or not, it might just be to compete with the evo's roof fins.

The car as far as right now will have the same 300hp 300ft/lb torque which is impressive for a factory warranted 4 cyl.

ALSO you are correct here you go

Top Alfa Romeo design man joins Subaru
Andreas Zapatinas - the designer of the Alfa 147 and the FIAT Barchetta and Coupe sports cars - will move next month to Subaru to help Subaru overcome design difficulties with the WRX and Impreza models. Zapatinas, a 44-year old Greek designer trained at the Art Centre of Design in Pasadena USA and with a career that has taken him from Pininfarina to FIAT to BMW and back again, is currently head of design at FIAT-owned Alfa Romeo. Zapatinas' new position at Subaru is as Chief Designer of Advanced Design - he will be in charge of the design of all new models (not the new WRX which has already been completed) sg:*looks seem to indicate otherwise*and his key task is to make Subaru cars 'more palatable' sg:*huh???* for world markets.


But I don't know If I was Subaru that sell big in the Euro market, which also sells the Alfa Romeo, approve something that looks som much like the competition

honestly i wudnt mind gettin that car, the current one is actually one of my favorite cars out there. im a big subaru fan, but i hate what theyve done with the front facsia. maybe the headlights are bearable, legacy-ish, but if i bought that car, the front grill and the hideous rear tails wud def be gone. maybe a grill like the one photoshopped on this page, with a subaru badge in the center, and the 05 tails wud make it alot nicer :)

2 things:

1) subaru has got to figure out how to do the BACK end of a car. all of them are ugly.
2) where's the front mount? honestly that scoop is gaudy and top mount is lame.
