[quote=“MPD47,post:2,topic:26562"”] Official pics? Really? What idiot thought a Chrysler sebring grille was a good idea. [/quote] Ha, I agree, but its better than the Alpha grille. I already posted most of my thoughts on another forum, but to sum it up I think; The interior overall looks sort of cheap. I like the steering wheel and Nav unit (also note the back up cam in the rear wing). Other than that, I don’t know if it’s the long trim piece that spans the dash or the late 80’s GM air vents, but it doesn’t do much for me. On the outside, over all not bad, and some euro flare to it which I like. That said, I don’t like the grill so much and I especially don’t like how they eliminated the fender flares. The car looks much less aggressive and blends in much more (Toyota Matrix and even more so Mazda 3 cues). I’ll wait and see when the STI version gets released…Subaru might be taking a Mitsu approach and making the STI more exclusive, but I doubt it. The back of the car passes ok, i’m just not sure about the c-pillar. ---

It looks like a Ford Festiva with a body kit off of a neon, and then a ricer put a hood scoop on. Can I borrow some hands? I need 8 thumbs down on this one… :tdown: :tdown: :tdown: :tdown: :tdown: :tdown: :tdown: :tdown: ---
