Fordaru???

[Coogs289]

is it just me or do subaru's look like falcons!!!! everytime i see one in the corner of my eye i'm like, "wth", it's a ford, nvm, just a subara. example, coming home from school now, in the corner of my eye i see a blue subaru outback or forrester (i'm not really into soobiez : lol) and the front lights seriously looked like one's off a ba/bf. am i just crazy (which my dad reckons) or do they look sort of similar?

You're new 'round here, aren't you.

It has been noted many, many times that FG and the MY2004 onwards Liberties look similar.

[Coogs289]

lol. i'm not THAT new! i was sort of referring to BA/BF headlights. lol nvm

I'm not new, but that's a new one to me.

same. well, i'm 'sort of' new. but that's new to me aswell...

[XR6_190]

Personally I don't see it, and going by the newest Subaru designs (current Impreza, Forester, original Tribeca and upcoming Liberty/ Legacy) I think it's a bit of an insult.

[Coogs289]

this isn't the best example but... THIS is sort of like it. not really tho. i'll try and find a better 1. and im not insulting any ORSM cars since i was only saying they sort of look similar to the ba/bf headlights. although they have extra little points.

[AllCoupedUp]

I've got a Lib GT-B and I can sort of see what you're thinking - but nope, never mistaken them...

[Coogs289]

i don't really mistaken them. it's more just every now and then going "they look so similar!". although i am going blind... going to the optometrist soon.

..sometimes you just wish you never started a thread.. :

[Coogs289]

so does anyone else think that the subaru headlights look remotely like ba/bf headlights?

[Yellow_Festiva]

Not the headlights, but the rear quarters actually.

There is a Suby sedan that has a very similar profile of tail light to the FG Falcon sedan.

Not sure what the model is?? Liberty perhaps?

[Coogs289]

HERE is the subaru site with all the models. it is the liberty. i see what you mean

Can you please refraining from SMS style posts

[Coogs289]

sorry about that, had to go so i was trying to be quick

[Yellow_Festiva]

Liberty....

I was also looking for the same pics after I posted... heaps of Liberty rear ends, but none of the FG that are close to the same angle lol.

[Coogs289]

i actually reckon that the tail lights look like ba/bf one's... lol
am i : or does someone agree? lol

Yeah sometimes I'll catch a quick glimpse and think the same thing

[Antwon]

Their sotra b series with the chrome at the bottom, and the general shape. I hate the new Imprezzas, they look like cheap Hyundais/kias.

[Road_Warrior]

Not that there's anything wrong with Subarus....bloody good cars actually. AWD with a longitudinally mounted flat 6? Yes please.

[Iggypoppin']

while we're on this subject, ive noticed the mid nineties model magna rear tail lights bear some resemblance to EA, EB, ED tail lights. just a little, but its enough to irritate me. no-one mention mercedes and AU! _2: _2: _2:

I was going to say that from the start! lol

[XRSIKS]

aussie top gear did FG F6 vs HSV R8 ... nose to nose..... they could be brothers.

FG is like a Generic Knockoff lol

Still like it though :P

Old Uncle Geoff said, the success of a new model is telling it apart at 25 meters to its competitors, pity such a great man was forced to Europe whilst the yanks destroyed his legacy

ohhhh that new impreza sedan from behind, : : :

Was thinking the exact same thing... rebadged Daewoo perhaps??

[Antwon]

I did work experience at Mercedes this week, and spotted this:



The wheels look the same as the FG XR6 17s except bigger, and look quite good in a bigger size btw. Not sure if either make copied but if they didnt its a really big coincidence.
