Yet another facelift for Subaru

It seem every 2-3 years Subaru changes the front-end styling:

They just can't seem to settle on a 'look' that doesn't take flak.


They like to push the envelope as far as looks are concerned. I personally think that all years look awesome and I actually like that they each have their distinct personalities.

Why settle for mediocrity and have the same, slightly changed look for

10 years (like the Neon or Cavalier) if you can bring people something new and exciting instead?

I saw 06 or 07 Outback Sport and I think it looked better overall then

05 despite the uglier propeller nose. Not that I'd miss it.

Because SRT-4 is probably a better car overall than WRX? Nevermind that traction sucks on srt-4.

I dig the propeller nose... I don't know why people have a problem with it honestly. The only thing I'm not super fond of on the '06 are the tail lights... all that silver just doesn't blend in well on darker colored cars.

I always liked the SRT-4 and it's definitely my kind of car... but I wouldn't say the SRT-4 is a better car overall than a WRX. It all depends on what you want out of a car.

The SRT-4 is slightly cheaper, faster in a straight line, and is easier to mod... to go faster in a straight line. It does look pretty badass too, despite the 'nose-dive' posture.

The WRX is AWD, so it's better for wet, snow, mud, dirt...etc and is slightly better handling (although the SRT-4 handles awesome for a FWD car, especially with an LSD). The 06 also come with awesome brakes. Having lots of negative experience with Chrysler products and lots of positive experience with FHI, I'd also say that a WRX is a lot more durable and reliable.
