This would be for GPS and satellite radio, right? I can't see why you'd want to move away from an in-glass antenna for broadcast radio.
 
It sure is fun to finally have some real spy shots! I wonder if there are others in this series that some other mag is purchasing from Priddy, like what happened w/the "super scoop" Legacy?

The top picture looks like a Mazda. It seems somewhat bland. I am not exactly adventerous when it comes to vehicle styling but I would buy it if I were in the market for a car that size.

Since we are fairly certain the camo image is the real deal and the clean car is more or less consistent with the camo version (hood scoops are different), I would say this is probably the 2008 Impreza. I am not too thrilled with the grille (Chrysler/Toyota-esque), but the rest looks decent to me.

P.S. a common reaction has been that it looks like a Mazda, but that's not the case.

The camoed image is the real deal. I've heard from someone who was in a position to know.

That's not the case? Meaning it's not a Mazda, or you are telling us it doesn't look like a Mazda?

Very bland. Once bitten, twice shy, I guess.
 
We can't blame Subaru. It's the press, they whine about the Tribeca and then the result is Subaru takes absolutly no risks on the new designs.
 
Kinda looks like a Kia Spectra5 to me.

No, I CAN blame Subaru. If they don't have convictions about what they design, then this is what you end up with.
 
Let's hope it looks better in person.

Well, a few very vocal folks just couldn't stop bashing the designs. Autoweek and TTAC, basically.
 
Among the rest, half called it controversial and half actually liked it (LA Times for instance).
 
You think they were chicken, basically?

Assuming this is for real—yes.
 
It confirms to the world that Subaru is a follower and not a leader when it comes to (grille) styling. It's about as "safe" and as "inoffensive" a design as one could come up with.
 
Hopefully it will look better in person. Remember, this is not a great image to start with.
