That looks virtually the same as the current MY07 model, apart from a minor bumper change and the ghey amber indicator/ running lights that the americans have??

i'm pretty sure the amber indicator is a USDM only item.... i've seen an my08 outback, much longer grille on the front, droops down onto the front bar. doesnt look to bad imo.

i think all subarus will eventually get window frames...that is if it is safety based...

i really like the frameless windows...a sorry loss from the impreza

i dont like the fact they are subdueing the cars...i like the aeroplane history of FHI being incorporated into the cars...

i agree that the amber indicators look uber ghey! and also agree that the grille looks way too big and spaced out.. id also have to agree with the fact that they are toning down the cars.. personally i dont think subarus are going to compete with bmw, mercedes, audi etc.. in the luxury stakes so they should stick to what they know..

yep, its plainly obvious there taming the cars down, but i don't understand why.

the 07 model WRX is one of the best looking cars in history IMO, and they utterly destroyed it. everything except the boxer has been changed. its now a Camry that sounds cool.
if the next Gen Lib is like the latest effort with the WRX, i think Subaru will go broke.

haha good call.. its a shame really.. such great designs for so long but i think they are going down hill.. hopefully they will get a bit more aggressive with their designs..

I think its just the same my07 model like ours but jus an 08 production model.

We too have those front bumpers for the lower spec models

Yes only US specs get the fugly amber lights.

Nah i wouldnt think so. They usually keep the same styling for years. Its been pretty good with its sales so they wont compromise that. Well they will certainly learn from the new wrx anyways.

Lets hope they do learn, as they obviously didnt have that philosophy before this new abortion of a WRX.
