Oh... god.... what have they done... what have they done.... holy crap. This is terrible. I've sketched things on napkins that look better than this design. Ugh. What the **** were they thinking:

On top of this, it's smaller, but HEAVIER. UGGGHHHHH. It looks like the result of a drunken orgy between a chrysler pacifica, subaru tribeca, and honda civic si (2003ish). All horrible looking cars, producing something so horrible I can't even believe this is real. Jesus christ. Now I have to go to bed pissed off.

lol, are those spinners?

Jim Paradise · Mar 28, 2007, 04:23 AM

To me it looks like a Mazada 3 and a 2006 BWM 3-series slapped together. Doesn't much matter since I've never cared for any of the WRX designs, and this one won't halt that trend.

hyteckit · Mar 28, 2007, 04:25 AM

Toyota Matrix? Pontiac Vibe?

hyteckit · Mar 28, 2007, 04:27 AM

Damn, it's a freakin pontiac vibe.

Nivag · Mar 28, 2007, 04:29 AM

looks more like a BMW 1 series to me

brassplayersrock² · Mar 28, 2007, 04:32 AM

what's wrong with the Pontiac vibe??

alex

Doofy · Mar 28, 2007, 05:31 AM

Yep, it's fugly.

Yesterday I had the same feeling. Imagine my delight when I found out (after looking at the web site) that Jeep UK have ditched the vast majority of their petrol engines. And introduced the POS Compass.

W.T.F.?

Dakar² · Mar 28, 2007, 07:12 AM

Looks like the Mazda 3.

mac128k-1984 · Mar 28, 2007, 07:29 AM

meh - subaru is too expensive for the type of car it offers. I owned one years ago and it wasn't bad but when I went to get another they were asking way too much money for what you were getting. The design has been going down heel for years. Look at the tribeca - one fugly vehicle, if your going to buy an suv buy a real one not one of those pretend tribecas.

centerchannel68 · Mar 28, 2007, 07:40 AM

The tribeca is one of the nicest driving SUVs out there right now..... and yeah, it's fugly, but it's not as BAD as this abomination. Seeing this new WRX makes me want ot kill it. With fire.

It may drive nice but I think people will not even consider it because its ugly. I know I never considered it.

RAILhead · Mar 28, 2007, 08:46 AM

People really drive those little things?

Gossamer · Mar 28, 2007, 09:12 AM

My first impression was an effeminate Mazda3

sek929 · Mar 28, 2007, 09:20 AM

MAN that's ugly!

The previous WRX was no prize pig, but this...eeewwwww.

Effeminate? Interesting take.

The previous WRXs have been sort of "brutes." They're not there to look good, just go fast. This one looks all curvy, especially in the fascia and under the headlights.

andi*pandi · Mar 28, 2007, 09:36 AM

odd chrysler front. doesn't look subaru at all!

though I kind of like the tribeca.

Paco500 · Mar 28, 2007, 10:14 AM

Looks a bit like a lowered Lexus RX SUV.

Dakar² · Mar 28, 2007, 10:19 AM

Ugly.

There, I said it.

highstakes · Mar 28, 2007, 10:25 AM

Is this a concept or is that the final production vehicle?

Gossamer · Mar 28, 2007, 10:41 AM

Agreed. The Matrix is much better looking.

Dakar² · Mar 28, 2007, 10:46 AM

mdc · Mar 28, 2007, 10:53 AM

The first thing I thought of was a Mazda 3 which isn't a bad thing, but I think I'd choose the Mazda over this one since that front grill area is horrible.

G Barnett · Mar 28, 2007, 11:10 AM

Hrm, I dunno. I do like the interior and console quite a bit.

I see one every couple months or so. At first I thought it was the company planting them to make people think that other people had actually bought them, then I moved next to a family that owned one...

I am not impressed with their customers. Nice people, just not the brightest. [hint: they where the same people who I posted a video of getting a jeep stuck in about 3" of snow".

sek929 · Mar 28, 2007, 11:14 AM

Euro-tailights are sooo last century.

Sure thing. They are great for the city, great as a second car or if you don't have a family. Low on gas, low on running cost. The Mazda 3 is a sweet little car. Nippy, well build.

In Europe, the majority of cars sold are compacts.

imitchellg5 · Mar 28, 2007, 01:32 PM

Where did you get those pictures? In the Future Cars Motor Trend issue their pics look totally different. That doesn't even have Subie's new three slot grill.

hyteckit · Mar 28, 2007, 01:55 PM

You're right. Looks closer to a Mazda 3.

Dakar² · Mar 28, 2007, 01:56 PM

I win.

Gossamer · Mar 28, 2007, 01:59 PM

FYI the image resizer doesn't work in IE7, which is what I'm forced to use when I'm on campus. So this page is like 3 miles wide. But I refuse to say that I miss Tooki.

Dakar² · Mar 28, 2007, 02:08 PM

Tooki must be a love 'im or hate 'im kinda guy. He never really bothered me.

Gossamer · Mar 28, 2007, 02:20 PM

I was cool with him until he harshly warned me to stop bashing America in the same thread that SWG was bashing America.

This is similar to the problems I had with tooki. He had some unique double standards.

Dakar² · Mar 28, 2007, 02:25 PM

Well, you are an America hater.

Edit: That was aimed at Gossamer, but Railroader can respond to it if he likes.

analogue SPRINKLES · Mar 28, 2007, 02:30 PM

The front is totally horrid but the rest isn't too bad.

Gossamer · Mar 28, 2007, 02:36 PM

Oh I know. SWG was constantly singing the praises of America and I was arguing with his every point.

Dakar² · Mar 28, 2007, 02:49 PM

He appears to be done with these forums.

imitchellg5 · Mar 28, 2007, 03:04 PM

Yeah where has he been? Miss the Star Wars junk.

nonhuman · 06:08 PM

At least it's not the Aztek.

Dakar² · Mar 28, 2007, 03:46 PM

The Aztek is a blight against humanity.

cenutrio · Mar 28, 2007, 03:47 PM

Based exclusively on those few images, i like it.

The back looks like a Saab sport wagon.

I never liked 3 volume cars, you'll have enough time to grow a butt when you get older...

I guess he was on vacation for a while but came back just long enough to make another joke about how I'm gay then he was gone again. Who knows.

Surprise, it's me.

Actually i just retired my SW names and am using this one. I was going to make a thread about it but I don't want to be an attention whore.

So what is this about: "SWG was constantly singing the praises of America and I was arguing with his every point."?
