I have a couple thoughts about this.
First of all, I think it's pretty neat. It kind of reminds me of the New Porsche and VW SUV's. I think they're going after VW's thing with this. Secondly, I think they're making a mistake with this styling direction. It may be a bit "out there" for american buyers. There are those die-hard subaruers who will buy this car simply because it's a subaru, but as far as luring people away from the competitors, i dont think it'll be happening with this design. Mike |

musings from the GM boardroom
Q: So, how do we make the Pontiac Aztek even uglier?
A: Give it an Edsel grille treatment and label it a Subaru. Brilliant! dcb |

The article claims that the front-end styling was first seen on the B9SC. That model may have been more recent, but the styling was, without a doubt, first unveiled on the B11S. As I understand it, that concept made a much bigger splash than the B9, so I don't understand the confusion.

send them your thoughts here:
http://www.subaru.com/contact/contact/middle.jsp Altho probably a waste of time, I told them the Mazda rotary symbol grill sucks big time - hoping alluding to Mazda would be enough to put them off. |

I hate these crossover SUV / AMC Eagle / Chevette concoctions that are popping up everywhere. I saw the Cadillac Mini-SUV parked on my street over the weekend. What an insult to the Cadillac badge! The Porsche SUV? Don't even start me on that one... Doug

looks like the last STi-before-the-B11S-nose-job-makeover will be my last Subaru.
such a shame - and i even think the bug-eyed WRX's look good.
