Ah, I see. Good to know. Let's hope their new cars don't just look like Audi imitations, then

And the WRX had a functional ugliness, like an A-10 Warthog: looked unique and that unique-but-not-beautiful look was attractive in and of itself. Now Subarus are starting to look like every other generic car out there and that truly IS ugly. Ugly not in the sense of a deep flaw (see Nissan Juke for a good example of "flawed ugly" in the extreme) but in the sense of unbearable blandness. Subarus have always had their main beauty underneath the hood and underneath the body, but at least the body exuded this sense of "I'm powerful. Watch me." Now they exude "I'm generic. Ignore me."

It will be good for those who want that "sleeper" look, I suppose
