I thought Brera as well, while the extra side window has a hint of Avantime about it.

It was Zapatinas, I think. Though didn't Giugiaro do the Brera?

Nice.

I like.

Mr G did do the Brera, the original very good looking one. Various Alfa bods then transmogrified it into what we have now, they are still arguing as to who. Think it was more Egger than Mr Z.

The nose treatment just doesn't do anything for me on this concept, pretty nondescript.

It's a tidier version of the Legacy nose, basically.

I like that, which is not something I've said about a Subaru for a wee while now.

Can't agree with DC - nothing on it reminds me of a Lexus (on this occaision!)

Side on looks nice but I think Subaru need to let go of their idea of a corporate grille before they'll get a nice looking front.

Good job it's got a hatch as it will be the only exit for passengers once it's parked in Tescos car park.

I don't like that - it looks like a concept that would have been in Autocar when I first started buying it - around 1988.

When was the last time the Japanese designed a truly pretty car?

Is this at all related to the Toyobaru concept that Toyota are showing and that Subaru seem to have no planned showing for their version? It could almost be a stretch version of that based on the shape.

It'll be interesting to see how much room that door needs, and if it's possible to get out of it in a tight parking space.

Similar concept to the Megane:

Well actually more of a blatant rip off!!

Looks like an early 90s concept to me, similar to Opel concepts of that period, could almost be a concept for the Signum....

Boxer6 · Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2009 8:33 pm Post subject:

Seems quite retro in some respects, and gull-wing doors just aren't Subaru IMHO. I also don't like the grille - far too big for the car I feel. Quite like the overall shape though, Megane-like or not, it''s still better looking than the current Impreza.

How are they going to do frameless windows with gullwing?

Sadly, they've already stopped doing those on their latest models.

Did the SVX have gullwing doors? That was an awesome car.

As said above it looks like a Brera from the side (especially the back lights) but from the front it looks pretty generic for every 'futuristic coupe showcar'.

Stick almost any other manufacturers badge on it and you would accept it.
