I took a long, long look at the impreza wagon last week, and it's not as bad as I expected. On a first-glance, the car's good head-on, front 3/4, and in profile, but as you swing around the rear, problems start. The front end is okay, minus the grille. The Sedan grille is cool with all the mesh. I've got to wonder if it would fit on the wagon.
The front end is pretty cool looking, and I dig the lights. Overall, everything from the beltline up is nice looking. I dig the greenhouse, the roofline, and the beltline overall. Below the belt, the doors are awfully slabby. Just too smooth, and about 2 inches too tall.
The rear is the big issue for me. Those huge chromey tail lights are pretty bad, the chrome strip running above the license plate is just gaudy in the extreme, and again, it looks like someone took a nice design and stretched it two extra inches vertically. It just looks...saggy to me.
*shrug* Chances of my ever picking up a WRX again are pretty slim, honestly, but it's not cuz I hate the Impreza, it's cuz I dig the Legacy so much
