For a minute I thought they were bringing back the ute. Then I saw the photos. FFS Subaru, you have got to be joking, is exactly what I thought too.

Time for a new designer. Why must they try and win the ugly award all the time with new models? The basic shape of the car is fine if you don't look at it from the front wheels forward.

Why do they keep goign towards the Mazda design? I agree that basically it is OK (a bit Lexusish), but they need to simplify the lines at the front a bit.

Those pictures do look better. I was shocked earlier this morning but I think it may be growing on me.

What is interesting is this........
Power comes from the automaker's 3.6L six-cylinder boxer mated, of course, to an AWD system.

I feel the same, when i saw it i thought new Lexus Liberty...dirty dirty car.
Then after i looked at a bit, i reckon it'll be a big hit and i feel i could get to like it. :)

With a grill below the top grill would improve its look a little.

Looks like they are following the Lancer style with this one, the Imp followed the Mazda3/Focus/Corrola. All cars look the same, and they are all getting ugly. I'm sure there are more people out there that love these new looks then there are like me though. Otherwise why would they do this?

I think the designers just go go from Manufacturer to the other as they get laid off as the ugliness is spreading across all makes.

i agree. too busy at the front, looks almost squashed. the back and sides i could get to like. interior looks pretty damn flash, although this guy doesnt seem to like it hah

Maybe a smack in the front from a big grey 'roo would improve it..
