Just saw this from Drive. Some of the pix look ok and then others look shocking! Sort of looks like our friends from Toyota have had a go at the design on this one as well.

The only thing that we can hope is that they will realise how f#*&ked up the their lastest releases have been and then really try to make amends with the Lib in 09.

Damn that looks identical to the Kluger for real!

Yes our Toyota mates have had a big input on this design.

or they could be like bmtroubleu and stick with the same design style despite absolutley polarised opinion (much to the negative). not that i didn't like the flame inspiration of the last models.
btw i think i saw my first "on the road" new M3 on wed. (unless someone is already modding 335's to quad tip exhaust's?)
t'was a fleeting glance so i didn't have time to see if it had a carbon roof...

Every car manufactured these days looks like a clone of another - look at the last generation (before the current shape) Civic, Lancer, Corolla... and look at the SUVs like Landcruiser Prado, Pajero, etc.

Saw an M3 about 6 weeks ago. A guy that lives near me evaluates BMs. They are a great looking and sounding car!

If they butcher the Lib that bad it looks like this will be my last Sube :( I had an 04 Forester XT and it looked great, I thought they stuffed up with the current model but man was I mistaken.... they damn SMASHED that with the ugly stick.

It also looks like that has framed doors.

I don't like the Liberty's chances of being a looker OR having frameless glass.

Out of interest, how many WRX's have people seen on the road, I've only seen 2 of the new model....

I've probably seen 3 total since it was released, and you only recognise it when they brake and you realise how fugly it is.. lol

I have these vision's of the next lib looking like a camry.. but with awd.. maybe..
