hmm....doesn't look like much has changed on the front or side profile.
the rear lights and diffusor are quite different in a good way.
if its not much of a departure from the last year model, i'll be sorely disappointed.
subaru may just be playing it safe...which is the wrong move right now.
everyone is changing it up...some too much, but at least they don't look like every other car out there...

I agree with you guys. If that is what its going to look like, I'll have to cross it off my list as it looks way too boring. It first hit my radar in 2003 and I really liked the 2006 facelift, but it has gone downhill since then IMO.

it will have the larger/better(?) motor.
redesigned and sportier rear. i'm afraid the side profile hasn't changed much.
hoping they surprise us with the front end...
Right, it will use a turbo variant of the FA24. For their current lineup the FA24F makes 260/277.

I had a '99 2.5RS coupe and wouldn't mind seeing a modern/futuristic interpretation of the GC styling soon, as silly as that may sound given that it's only been around 20 years. I think they really hit their stride in the styling department with the Hawkeye. The VA is not really my thing but also not near as bad as the prior models from 2008 to the VA. I agree that from the looks of the camo'd WRX it leaves a lot to be desired.
