Hi Chike. Thanks for the link. Read it last night. :-) Now I'm looking for an 2006 WRX STi vs Evo IX shootout. :-))

Agreed, the new Subaru look sucks in pics, any pics, but looks alright in person. I really like the new Impreza in person, way better than the 05 side by side, and I liked the 05 way more than the bug eyed Impreza.

Still not sure how I'm gonna like it when they put that nose on the Legacy? And not sure why they didn't put it on the 06 Forester

I think becos, forester is having different facia from the begining of its introduction compared to all other models facia (nearly same facia). Moreover forester is becoming more popular at present in many other countries too and also I think the present forester facia looks better for its size and performance. But all we can do is wait and see wht steps will subaru take in future for forester. The next one to have a change will be mostly legacy and then outback, if outback got changed then baja will also get the same look. Then maybe probably forester will be in line.
