And like others have said, other than the funky doors, it looks pretty good.

didn't they hire a designer from alfa? maybe there's the problem..

I'm surprised, this actually looks good! Now if they could build it.

Tribeca wasn't infected, it was ugly from the start.

Yes they did.. Andreas Zapatinas. But he already left a while ago.

He was guilty of the "wing section" grille that infected the last model Impreza in it's final iteration.

A fine idea in terms of concept, HIDEOUS in execution.

Makes sense an Alfa guy would go for a distinctive grill section.. shame he couldn't do a good one. Seems Subaru want distinctive design, but to my mind they were better off before they started looking for it.

In my opinion a Subaru doesn't need a design. They have other better attributes by which they are recognised other than the design.
