I agree for the most part. I think subaru deserves a hearty thumbs down for the new wrx. On the other hand I think they deserve a thumbs up for the forester and legacy. On the design market as a whole their is this trend..... I am not sure how to label it. Creases in body panels to make cars look like they are "in motion" is crap. Stock chromed out taillights are getting really old fast. I mean I expect a company like hyundai to mimic other companies (e.g. elantra= accord and the other hyundai has very similar features to the old MB E-Class) but for major companies to start stealing obvious designs is aweful. I do have to congratulate two companies though: BMW and Audi. They have continued to produce beautiful automobiles like nobody else.
