i was never really a fan of the center grill on the new design, but that chop doens’t look all that great. seems unbalanced for some reason. like the headlights should be bigger or something. ---

if the grill opening didnt make such a distinct V, but rather only went down a little bit with no vertex in the middle, it would look a lot better i think. ---

The car loses all personality without the pig nose. Ugly - It’s what makes a Subaru a Subaru. ---

![http://users.adelphia.net/~cdabable/bleh.jpg](http://users.adelphia.net/~cdabable/bleh.jpg) Lesser of an angle helps but it’s still just not a subaru. Then again I kind of like the factory pig-nose look. ---

Every time I see a new STi I get this feeling like I’ve seen it before somewhere. Then today for some reason it came to me. This old cartoon I used to watch when I was little, The Raccoons. One of the characters ![http://www.gilsinan.com/raccoons/images/mw-bert.gif](http://www.gilsinan.com/raccoons/images/mw-bert.gif) That’s where subie got the inspiration for their grill… I just know it! ---

i remember that cartoon too. Canadian animation. would you call that cananime? Anywho the shape of the grill comes from a cross section of an airplane. Its all traditioney…yeah i made that word up. ![http://www.subaru.kz/images/history/subaru_rex550_1978.JPG](http://www.subaru.kz/images/history/subaru_rex550_1978.JPG) You can see where it came from. ---
