What's Wrong With This Picture: Subaru Gives It Another Shot Edition

Subaru’s search for a consistent design language is the stuff of automotive legend, as the brand has flitted from one theme to the next, seemingly coming up with a new direction with each new vehicle. Now, starting with the Hybrid Tourer Concept from the last Geneva Show, Subaru seems to have settled into something of a groove. It’s a sleek, stripped-down, mature look that might stray towards the bland side for some Subaru fans… but at least it’s a direction. With this peek at a future look for the Impreza, we’re getting a little closer to the day when Subaru actually offers a line of consistently-styled vehicles.

A good looking Scoobie? I haven't seen one of them since they rectified the bugeyed headlights on the 2nd generation Impreza.
Who wins when you're an automaker building a car that looks exactly like everyone else's car and vice versa? Quirky and unusual may drive some people away, but at least they know who you are.
Design seems OK, but screams to me like weird combination of new Volvo-s grills + Fords headlights + Mazda 6 sides to me. If it will make it to real produced cars, probably will be blander then in pic though.
I've never liked Subies. With the exception of the goofy looking but amazing WRX, they all appeal to Crock-wearing Greenpeace earth mothers or flannel-wearing lesbian audience. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just not my gig. But I like this. I like it a lot.
