Personally, i like the new interior changes but they did crew up the new dash. Subaru had the chance to make a digital dash like the new 400z! .

Wanted to like this car dang!! maybe it’ll grow on me in person

The 2022 civic.... looks like a jetta.

Not a fan of the styling and agree with others that the front and rear don’t mesh together well. Side view is fine but I think they are trying to improve on near perfection with the first gen’s clean lines. If it was just the bumper I had a problem with I’d be more optimistic that Toyota’s twist might be promising but that rear-end is a deal breaker. I’m sure these cars will grow on me a bit with time but I’m definitely holding onto mine.

See, this is what happen when you let Subaru engineer it lol jk

Also if you guys wanna know Toyota design, gotta wait til next yr... TAS to be correct. Have I seen it? No, not the final version. Which look the worse? idk.
