I'm not all about the prop nose, but it definately grows on you. The xenon projectors do too

I'm actually a fan of the smaller hood scoop - even with this one I have already gotten a chip in it but not too many bugs on the intercooler, nor many leaves.

I am a big fan of the rest of the nose though, I got tired of looking at all the used 04s and 05s with the front lip falling down at the sides (don't know what you call those pieces). It was consistantly hanging down every time I looked at one. Glad they tightened that up! She needs a diet though, not sure where the 100 extra pounds are packed away.

Some of that extra weight is sound deadening and stereo equipment.

I see, well I wish I could hear the stereo, on the highway! I think I would have been okay with the no stereo option at a reduced price - then I can put my own in later.

I'm personally glad they are dropping the grille, it was never my cup of tea. My parents would have considered the Tribeca as well, but the front end pretty much changed that possibility.

Why is everyone so surprised? The WRX front grill has drastically changed every 2 model years anyway?
