I never have liked that new grill. Uglified an awesome car if you ask me, or if you don't ask me.

ya, the tribeca front end grows on you. but i still am not a huge fan of the rear end either... i'm just glad they are leaving the legacy alone.

the grill has been scrapped for the same style grill the Vibe has which looks really good. We already have a white 07 in stock. Its in the show room and comes with 18" chrome wheels of the 18" alloy previously on the 2007.Rumor has it Subaru has scraped the "propeller" look across all platforms. So I'm curious how the 2008 STi will look... because thats kinda the year I'll probably be buying. Hopefully they come out with a 2008 limited.

I have been waiting to use that sinse I first saw that ugly grill!!! On a side note, I didn't think the prop thing looked half bad on the impreza/WRX. The tri-funkta wouldn't look good with any grill....
