Subaru kept away from that design language by simply making the front end more full and giving the front end a bit of cheek.


While I'm thinking of it, the panel gaps around the trunk lid were a bit spacious.

Good pic from Dave showing that:

I think rounded taillights will stand the test of time. If you notice a lot of timeless designs tend to have simple round headlight and or taillights.
