i have no idea what kind of drugs the designers were on when they made that

theyve ruined the look in my opinion.

true fans will steer clear of the hatch

I used to love the way the WRX STi looked when it first came out. The last re-design was terrible, and this looks even worse.

Thumbs way down for me...

actually the front and back headlights not so bad lah.
the back tail lights from this angle resembles the Evo 10 tail lights.

but the rest of the car no defination. i especially hate gap between the back window and the rear screen. looks un-cordinated, like a mistake.
look at the bumper below the tail lights, 1 portion like an ordinary bumper
then suddenly the corner flattens out with the tail lights.
so abrupt, design doesn't flow thru nicely.

other then the recent design blunders, this is the epitome of all blunders and
that is to convert the Rex into a hatchback.
to engage an external design studio to revamp a car's design is an admission that their own designers suck big time.

maybe, the guys in Fuji Ind. know that the WRX is losing their battle against
the EVO, coming out with hit after hit. maybe they should stick to making trucks and cranes.

so foreseeing that they are losing their market share and following,
they are re strategising to enter the GTI hatchback market.
but GTI has been around for like 2 decades, not an overnight hit.

all i can say to the rex is Good luck! hope to see u around in the next few years!

not to be mean or biased. but i drove the legacy gl back in 93, i vividly remb my ride n comparing to the rex or legacy of today,
not much improvment in equipment level, int or ext outlook.
heck, i even prefer the legacy ti, legacy rs, wrx ver 4/5
to the current subaru range.

The back looks like it came from the Lexus Rx330 and the front is a cross between a Subaru and Chrysler product....grille screams PT Cruiser

I sympathise with the Subaru Rally Team.........with this design, I bet their morale and confidence for the rally will drop to ZERO!!!!

With the previous designs, if they dont win, at least still look Stylo Milo ma...........if they dont win with this new look, the drivers might end up racing for Perodua instead la......

ha ha ha............
