5th Gen??

  Top of Page

Is this for real or am I being mislead?
If this Liberty is legit....i'd have to say its
a very very small leap for Subaru.
The headlights look like that of a Mazda 6
and the rear end of the car resembles a Lancer?
Wtf?
whilst all still being VERY 4th gen

I doubt subaru would do another face-lift to the gen4. This shape has been around for 5 years and deffinatly in need for a big change. If you look at the liberty history each generation/model was produced for 5 years. and there was one face lift for each generation.

Gen1- 89-93
Gen2- 94-98
Gen3- 99-03
Gen4- 04-present

NOTE: some models started/finished a few months either side of the dates

If it is legitimate, I don't like it that much...still better looking than the new Imprezas though.

It's still using the same base, so I seriously doubt that is the next generation.

I'm seriously considering it to be a face lift.

Compare the base of the last four generations? They've all changed, however none of them have had a seriously dramatic face lift, so maybe you are right?

It is quite a confusing car isn't it. But I think its a 5th gen after looking back at the past generations in detail. if you look at the 1st gen and the old subaru 4x4's, the lib was pretty much just a revised 4x4. then the 2nd gen came and gave a completely new look to the liberty. this continued thru to the 3rd gen, with interior changes, changes to the front end and rear end of the car but, they still pulled off a similar look. then the 4th gen came and wiped the old libertys once again off the slate, with its low, sleek body and extreme changes to styling. so whats not to say that the 5th gen isnt the same to the 4th gen as the 3rd gen was to the 2nd and as the 1st gen to the 4x4? 

anyone understanding what im saying tongue

from what i read a while back, the gen4 design was bought from Saab. subaru dropped their driveline in it and badged it as a liberty. hence the big change

This is clearly a photoshop. An mix up of a few different cars if you like.

http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k67/seesully/newsubaruliberty_thumbnail.jpg

1. The windows are half framed and half frameless.
2. Doors and handles look like they are BMW.
3. Wheels look like they are Mazda.
4. Headlights are from previous generation Mazda 6.
5. This grill is out of date and no longer being used by Subaru.

My motoring spys have revealed to me that they have managed a spy shot of the latest Liberty. Enjoy the exclusive.:crazy:

Lol, in your opinion, I just don't like them :beee:

The Liberties have always looked better than Imprezas IMO.

Hi,

Dude, if it's about Subaru, and it happened last year some time - every chance we already covered it.
