HUGE IMPROVEMENT over the original concept.

Do you remember everyone hurling over that thing and wondering if it would change?

I approve.

I can finally delete this picture with a sound mind.

comments about the styling?

What do you see in common between all of those cars?





so I give this car an F for design, because sure it is a european one and specifically Italian and more specifically done for Alfa Romeo...
What a shame ! Subaru is now buying designs.
Pls it is very ugly, except for the interior, this design should be for the early 1990's rather for the mid 2000's

mmm, it seems they didn't work, the links, ok go to:
www.seat.com and
www.alfa-romeo.com
and check the showroom of each !!!

Of course it looks Italian with that goofy grill, Suby went and hired Alfa's design boss. Why don't we start calling our sedans 156's. It's a mistake. My 2 cents.

do you have a problem with italians?!?

[SilverSpear]

it's not like a problem with the italians, personally i love italian babes but the thing is I hate imitations. if you consider the Porsche Cayenne, it has an exclusive design. later came the VW... but the subaru B9 it has an Italian look rather than Japanese... same as the new SVX concept? (what is it called the new SVX?)

I can't say it enough, Subaru hired Pinnifarina who are not only an Italian design group but also as of late have gotten into the habit of brandishing every grill as a design statement that says "We did this," like they are using their product statement to expect cars to be sold. However, the Tribeca at least toned down the beastial grill a bit, for a more clean and industrial look. If you cover the grill it looks like a rounded Forester, at least from the side. Of course you have a preference for liking something or not. But be mindful that Subaru tried to make their best means possible to alter the design as much as possible so it doesn't show that Pinnifarina finesseas much, as much as I wish Subaru rather hired ITALdesign.

Anyway the new sports car concept and probable SVX succesor is the B11S.

i thought this was the work of former Alfa Romeo designer and newly appointed head of Subaru Design, Andreas Zapatinas.

Why does everyone say the B11S is the new SVX or its succesor?

Your're right, it is just I got the whole misconception that because he worked for Pininfarina I assumed that they were in on this as well, my mistake. I think it is Andreas Zapatinas that popularized the whole side vent and center grill thing, he is also Greek not Italian. Also you should read a bit of this article. I know Subaru wants a design change but do they have to be so forcefu and fire the guy who designed the original Legacy.

if they were smart, Zapatinas would get the axe as well.
