Agree on all counts. I'm just biatching because I would like to see something outside the box, and am tired of seeing all of this blatant copy-catting between automakers. I'm also just a grumpy gus.As for why so many cars look similar these days, well it's kind of mandated. Height of the nose, shape of front end, and upward curve to the hood are all due to passenger-impact standards. YUP, cars are now designed to lessen the damage when they hit things like people...wonder if it'd help when you whack a damn deer? Maybe that's where the bright new headlights would help!
And to support CoupedUps post above...look at late-90s Corolla, Sentra, Galant, Camry and GC Impreza...viewing @ front ends from 100 yards away, it'd be damn hard to tell them apart. The 2.5RS pie-plate fogs do help it pop out, but the regular versions are pretty generic.
I will say I'm excited about the new motor.
