Default New WRX hottest one out AGREE/DISAGREE *pics*









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.

They are ugly as sin. And yes, I see the pricks every day. I don't know how anyone can say the interior is improved, it's the same as the MY04 interior.

But hey, give it 6 months and the B9 will make the WRX look like a work of art.

IMO the MY04 was the best looking of the lot. MY99 comes a close second, but they are starting to look really dated.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA not a chance. The STi and the Rally cars have bugger all in common. The STi is a WRX with a few more go fast bits, that's it. Belt a Falcon V8 around a track? Depends on the track.

Don't pick on it man, it's been stylised to suit ram raids. Take the rear wing for example, ugly as but practical - smashes the glass of a shop window first thus protecting the panels.

I'm awaiting the Nubira STi... they'll be more affordable ;)

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