I'm convinced this current "Brera" they have brought to market is fundamentally different from the original Brera design study by Giugiaro. The original seems to me to be longer, sleeker, more projectile like. The current one is stumpy, butch, broad muscular stance.
I think I have pics of the original somewhere on file, it will be interesting to compare.
Having said all that, I genuinely like the current car, I hope it does well. They have faithfully retained the hyper aggressive nose of the original Brera.
Michael, I am in total agreement about the WRX lights on previous models. Subaru seem to have a need to make successive models more and more ugly. The whole nose design of the current WRX is a laugh. Stand one beside a Mitsubishi EVO, and ask a child which is more handsome!
Style wise, the Impreza has lost its way, and they are now losing sales on account of it. Just because a car has WRC credentials does not mean the average buyer is going to be happy driving an ugly pig of a thing.
I'm saving up for a Maserati Quattroporte. I have had enough of these dumpy frumpy rally derived rubbish.
