yep. https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...63#post2347488

You know, if they kept that grille out there and kept it smooth and flush, it'd look good. But that grille freakin kills it.

The '05 Legacy looks awesome, why not this?

And bug-eye >

Headlights are an improvement style wise, but that grill went backwards.

Face it bishes it rules! Just kidding... (just saying that because I bought one)

But yeah it's only a two year thing so it is what it is. I just can't wait to read more about the third generation Impreza if they call it that I mean.

Nothing wrong with having 3 facelifts. It's better than having only 2 in 8 years like the Integra. Well that is if you happen to like the changes. I had a 95 GSR and currently have a 02 WRX. I actually like it that my cars look current for such a long time. Got 7 years with the GSR and getting 6 years so far on the WRX. Anyway that middle grill is hideous! Buyeyes for me.

After spending some time pondering this new front end, I have to admit that I'm warming to the headlight design. h: The rest of the front end needs work, but I'm interested to see what the aftermarket will do in response.

Hmm..

it looks like the grill is part of the bumper, so i'm sure an aftermarket bumper should solve that problem

True, but a better solution would include a new hood as well.
I know the hood scoop is part of the WRX lexicon, but it's still ugly as hell.

I wonder if you could get away with a cowl-induction / louvered hood and a puller fan on top of the I/C?

Hmmm...:thinking:
