I don't mind the front end as much as I thought I was going to. And i have to say, I think it definitely gives the company a "common face" while a lot may not agree with it, at least you'll be able to instantly recognize a subaru on the road. Think about how you can always tell BMW's, Pontiacs, Mercedes, and Porsches immediately just by the nose. I think it might help subaru more than we realize.
Plus, i GUARANTEE the 2.5t to be going faster than the 4g63 by the end of 06
Displacement helps.... especially when putting down streetable power.
