Rendered Speculation: New York-bound 2010 Subaru Legacy

Following up on our earlier story about the 2010 Subaru Legacy's
Many of you have voiced some (ahem) minor displeasure with the Legacy concept's new nose, and although these images aren't official, they won't do much to curb your criticisms. While we're evenly split on how well the new fascia will make the transition from concept to production, here's hoping that the blistered wheel arches and taut rear end make the migration from the drawing board to the dealerships.

Subarus have always been quirky looking cars, and that's at least part of the appeal. While I can see why people don't like it, I definitely appreciate that it stands out -- no one can accuse it of being bland, that's for damned sure.

I think you're confusing "quirky" with "ugly".

I think the current Legacy is a fairly handsome-looking car. I'd rank its looks above the bulbous Camry and bloated Accord. Except the rear, perhaps, which is a bit too 90's Japanese.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder etc. etc.
Just give it a few months, and people will get used it and think it just looks a little strange. That seems to be what happens with most of these cars (with a few exceptions -- the X6 comes to mind).

That's slightly less ugly than the concept. Certainly not as good looking as the current ones, but the tall greenhouse and origami nose details aren't as obvious. The contrasting grille surround on the first Outback rendering looks like a VW/Audi knockoff.

Yeah, I have the words: "And that's what makes a Subaru a Subaru."

It doesn't look any worse than current Subarus, but that's not saying much. Subaru's designers continue to tack overly-glitzy, confused front ends onto bodies that could be straight from 1993.

You it right on the head. I have a spot for Subarus, but why can't they get some decent designers?

Further proof that "Beautiful Styling" is not "what makes a Subaru, a Subaru".

If that car were a horse, it'd be put down.

Well, it looks like a Subaru, again.... nothing really advanced here though.

Too bad. The current Legacy/Outback are the best looking Subarus ever IMO.

my vote is for the 2nd gen 1994 - 1999 model. But i'm partial because i owned a 98 Legacy Wagon GT. I miss that car more than any other.

I think the current models are fine, but this one crosses the line --- looking too much like an American SUV. Subaru doesn't understand it's market...people who want an SUV but feel guilty about it. This car is too butch for the New England professor / ex-hippie / bird watching crowd that loves the Outback.
