no it was actually modelled after the eyes of an eagle...and thus in the great tradition the new 06 model shall be known as the 'eagle-eye'

Subaru's get spanked by Seat's all to often now. So what Subaru did was to model itself on the superior car.....The Seat.

The MY06 looks like it's snorted too much coke, Daniella Westbrook style.

I think it's the best looking Impreza since the classic (mind you that wouldn't be hard)!

He he he we should really have a mine's faster than yours Forum or more sensible the I started a thread then somebody Hijacked it [with mines faster than yours or the PS Lewis debarcle]

I have a Seat and a Scoob so visit both Forums. Seat Forum generally has quotes like "me mate has a standard bugeye and I did him at the lights with me modded 340bhp Leon, those scoobies are just so slow" LMFAO. Scoobynet is generall "I beat him up to 20mph then he creamed me, those Leons are sooooooooooooooooooooo fast". LMFAO the irony.

Other people are allowed their own opinion on their fav motor, its all down to personal taste and driving style. However if that car isnt a Scoob they are all wrong!!!

Please explain your reasoning??? I take it you own a scoob so you must be a phenomenal driver then??

I would have thought that really good drivers would have prefered a RWD layout. Im not a fantastic driver but i would like RWD at some point but to be honest knowing me i would loose it in the wet when playing so its safer sticking with AWD which can still be fun but a lot safer. Dont be so naieve as to think that because you own a scoob it is the best drivers car in the world. You are giving scoob owners a bad name.

u should be banned from this forum for even suggesting it looks like a seat, i honestly think this front end will grow on a lot of people! the only thing bout the car i dont like is that little spoiler at the rear over the back window, other than that she is sweet

yeah ur right, that was a stupid comment made by yer man, just cos u own a scoob doesnt mean ur a good driver at all! and by the way he is talkin id imagine he is not a great driver to be honest! anyone can plant the foot and change gears, i wouldnt even class myself as a good driver in subaru terms anyway,ive an sti type r and im still trying to teach myself how to handle her when she kicks out a bit here and there,there are A LOT of good drivers who own hondas!!!

Looks pretty tidy but needs slightly bigger alloys to finish it off.
