Don't like it but these pics look slightly better than the regular WRX pics I've seen before. However, you noted these aren't final. Overall, the nose is okay, the rest of it looks to much like a civic/corolla, including the interior. Hell, the interior IMO is what needs updated the most. I dunno, I'm a cheap bastard or mainly just frustrated that cars are so expensive for what they offer. The days of $30 averages and $40k for anything fun are upon us and to me that's stupid. My priorities are different I guess. That or I'm old and cheap.
