djc2004 Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Saw these today. As an ex WRX owner, I'm really partial to these little rockets. interested in other's opinions of the design as Subaru have a habit of stuffing it up..... having said that I quite like it although at first glance I thought it was a pumped up Nissan Murano........

XRQTR Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 The hatch back style kills it off for me, I do like the 05/06 look though with the STi add ons, this just looks tooooo Americanized. Quote
zr240 Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 looks like a toyota I will stick with my 06 wrx thanks Ash Quote
Zeddophile Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Don't like the Monaro lights, the mr smiley happy face grille, and the back looks just like every other hatch, trying to be European styled. What motor is in it? Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted March 27, 2007 Administrators Posted March 27, 2007 I can't say I like it, I'll wait to see the final product but for me it's a no no as it is. It just doesn't look like a performance car, it looks like a Mazda 3. Quote
Sooley Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I'll keep my MY05 STI after seeing that lookings like a Mazda 3 with a bonnet scoop Sooley Quote
sexual_sushi Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 "lookings like a Mazda 3 with a bonnet scoop " haha exactly thats wat i dont get about these cars (being wrx's and skylines) sure they perform well or have monsterous power but they just have no style, they look like every other car out there. Give me an rx8, a z5 or a car made before 1980 I am still impressed by the performance of the subies though, they're in a league of their own and are relatively cheap for what you get. I always say the z's are the wrx's of the 70's. Quote
Anthony Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I frequent a forum with a lot of guys who own Subbies and they can't stand it. I'm glad I have the current shape. Quote
nat0_240_chevZ Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 yuk, yes very mazda 3 with scoop!!! i like up to the my 05's not the 06's but, my older bro has the 04 or 05 cant remember with all the MY stuff, made then but sold as a.... The 04/05 sti isnt really that quick, as compared to other imports etc (or my now written off R6 yammy). Used to be great fun letting my bro grab a lead then winding the little yam out and sailing past him whilst on full throttle @ 200+kmh haha, needs more work to compete, but as i said before 'written off'. But yes the 07 looks like a pig in dress up!! Quote
thehelix112 Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 It just doesn't look like a performance car' date=' it looks like a Mazda 3.[/quote'] Agreed. Esp the rear tail lights. Quote
ZD44TT Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 I think it'll be aimed at the 36-41K mark so you can't expect some'n too flashy. don't quote me..........but I thought this was meant to be subaru's answer to hot hatches. Quote
zedevan Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 yeah i heard they wanted it to look more classy etc to compete with vw gti's, although i'd have to say that it definately doesn't have the classy factor... Quote
Toecutter Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 It looks like they must have poached some Hyundai engineers to work on that design! :? Quote
zedevan Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 you seen the kee'd? its dam sexy for whatever dodgy company is making it lol also looks quite zed like... Quote
djc2004 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Posted March 28, 2007 Wasin a Mazda dealer yesterday looking at replacing the aging Calais with a CX7 and glanced at the new MX5 which is a car I've always liked. Small, nimble, cheap to run etc. Saw the price and nearly fell off my perch. $47,000 +ORCs!!!! I thought these things were meant to be a cheap sports car..... incidently the ORC push it into the Luxury car tax bracket. Maybe Mazda has lost the plot too... David Quote
Toecutter Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Jeez that yellow Hyudai above has more Z in it than a 350z! Quote
Zeddophile Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 the back of that yellow hyundai actually looks pretty tough.... Quote
