Like others say, the front facia doesn't look to me like mazda 3, but the rear sure looks same as Lexus R series and many other cars/suvs.

That is the worst looking subaru yet. So sad, as the impreza has always been my favorite. I smell sabotage. Doesen't GM own a large share of subaru stock? I think they need to get some fresh designers from japan, and stop looking to the states for design ideas.

i just noticed that! that was one of the coolest styling cues on the Imprezas - the flared fenders. the new hoodscoop is nice, but that is all.

EVO X is still winning in the "my next car" race.

They're both ugly, EVO X and the new Subbie. EVO has WAY too much body, and not enough glass. Not so pretty in my books.

GM only ever owned 20%, and they sold it off a year or two ago. Now Toyota owns, I want to say 15%, but I'm not quite sure on the % there.

Honestly, I do have to say the sedan version of the '08 Impreza doesn't look too bad. I'm not a big fan of the hatchback, I prefer the wagons they did away with.

GM made a couple of stillborn concepts with the Subaru driveline, gave the world the Saabaru (lead balloon yeh?), intended to make the Saab 9-6x (sharing the Tribeca platform) and the rest is history.

+1 That's one reason why my next car might very well be an STI (won't be for another 2+ years though).

Hope you weren't referring to me up there, I was just a little unsure of whether or not Toyota bought that whole 20%. But don't forget the "Chevy" Forester that was sold in India
