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.

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.

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.

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.

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? |

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.

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

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. |
