Ok, here are the pics of the real car, you can decide if you like it or not. If you want the specs, buy the May issue of Motor Trend.
But it still has 9days till its unveiled, I prey that they leaked the wrong pics

the front looks like an old KIA or something.

they sure know how to make ugly cars if that's their final look.

Looks like an old 80's/90's *** car built just for the North American market. and I mean that in the very worst way.

Okay, the Scooby has always been an ugly car, but thats really taking it too far.

i like the new rear end... the rear styling of the recent subarus have always been kinda iffy... but the new one actually looks alright

i hate that chrome bit... makes it look very cheap... i'd swap those out for body color pieces and skip the obivious cross slates and u'd get a half decent looking car

not digging the interior. too bad it didnt go the way of the legacy's which looks classy and BMW like with its slight cant toward the driver

this interior; well maybe itll be nice materials, but it looks REALLY plasticky, and really aerio-like

Is it really a surprise? It wouldn't be a Subaru if it wasn't ugly.

*ducks for cover*

I truly hope this stuff is just experiment Photoshop gone bad. That thing looks like the love child of a Tribeca/Matrix mating. A crime against nature I say. Time will tell & my fingers are crossed.
