new WRX

also known as the 2013 "2005 Legacy GT"




for comparison ....




really? 8 years later, and this is what the WRX becomes? on the positive side, it doesn't look like a dog chewed on it, as most current Subarus do.

Re: new WRX

This is a Legacy GT, the WRX is an Impreza. I don't get your point here.
Very nice looking sedan by the way. I'd drive one.

my point is, the first picture is the NEW WRX.

do you see any similarities to the 2005 Legacy GT, in the second picture?

Subaru is not known for it's striking styling changes. They are similar in many ways.

Re: new WRX

Well, the horribly ugly car look has been selling well for the WRX so why change now.

maybe they will re-issue the SVX and call it an Outback.

Yeah, I wasn't falling for that - I knew they would take that aggressive-looking concept and apply a bunch of goofy or mediocre to it.

Re: new WRX

A new XV Crosstrek parked next to my '08 Outback the other day, and I was surprised how similar they look viewed head-on.
