The front looks like a scary person smiling, and the back just looks odd (that rear bumper is massive).

But from the side it looks like something that can unleash a lot of power and smash the crap out of your typical V8's (although maybe wouldn't) haha.

Go for a T-rex lol (but the new gens look ugly or like as if they have rebadged an evo...)
I think it just looks awkward, a bit like a Lexus GS and without the classic sporting proportions of the previous generations. The wheels are disproportionately tiny and the rear seems massive compared to the front like the car has an obesity problem and doesn't like exercising. Not very fitting of Subaru's sporty image imo.

I don't mind the look of the new WRX STI, had a go in one and loved it. Would have one on order for real if I didn't have the GT already.

Lol I agree with the small tyres (the tires are hidden a bit inside and don't come out more like they should.

The alloys are massive though. The tyre only just fits on it lol.

But yeah I don't have any problems with the front, its just the back that is the issue.

Then again, the rear bumper is massive probably out of safety reasons. The lights though are ugly ducklings.

Idk I like the looks of the 2nd and 3rd gens much more. I probably will get a 2nd gen in a few years time to satisfy my limits and cravings.

This reminds me of British car shows which talk about weekend cars using beer money (because cars are cheap, owning a car isn't)...

I've come to accept that living in a CBD (anywhere) means I only have one parking spot so need to find a car which fits both requirements. Currently thinking again about new C class (instead of X4).

The 350/370z are cheap on the second hand market now. I wouldn't mind them for a fun car if I had a spare parking spot.

Old GTIs aren't powerful, neither are new ones stock.
