I'm the first to admit that Admitting a Camry is a better looker than this is probably the hardest thing I've written on this forum - I love the legacy/liberty for it's quirky charm, capable engineering and downplayed styling.
This one looses all thats important - it's butt ugly (something only the Impreza can get away with because it's somewhat youthful). The loss of the Pillarless windows is bluntly unacceptable and lazy engineering, and symptomatic of a company thats lost it's way.
And furthermore....Focusing on the differences is what made Subaru a cerebral choice. Granted there are 4WD sedans out there these days but none of them have the history or prowess Subaru rocks like a badge of pride.
It depresses me no end to Watch an engineering based company come up with cost driven solutions.
