It's been around a lot longer than the B9, so it should read "The B9: A bigger uglier slower Impreza". images/smilies/wink.gif

Yea, I hope they do something to the rear too.
And I like the look, I like cars which are ... more challenging to look at (images/smilies/tongue.gif)
The last one is better looking perhaps, but also boring. It looks like every other car out there and by that I mean the camry, mazda six, etc. They all got the same style of head.

Double spoiler suppose to give better rear downforce without a larger wing that'd block rear view so it's more a function over form thing.

As for the rear, yea. Wish they do something about it too. Apart from the light combo, it's pretty much the same one as the new age impreza. Oh well ... was looking forward to dual pipe similar to the legacy/liberty too. But nope.

Should still be a good car though images/smilies/thumbsup.gif
