It seem every 2-3 years Subaru changes the front-end styling:

They just can't seem to settle on a 'look' that doesn't take flak.

They like to push the envelope as far as looks are concerned. I
personally think that all years look awesome and I actually like that
they each have their distinct personalities.

Why settle for mediocrity and have the same, slightly changed look for
10 years (like the Neon or Cavalier) if you can bring people something
new and exciting instead?

I saw 06 or 07 Outback Sport and I think it looked better overall then
05 despite the uglier propeller nose. Not that I'd miss it.

Because SRT-4 is probably a better car overall than WRX?
Nevermind that traction sucks on srt-4.

I dig the propeller nose... I don't know why people have a problem with
it honestly. The only thing I'm not super fond of on the '06 are the
tail lights... all that silver just doesn't blend in well on darker
colored cars.

I always liked the SRT-4 and it's definitely my kind of car... but I
wouldn't say the SRT-4 is a better car overall than a WRX. It all
depends on what you want out of a car.

The SRT-4 is slightly cheaper, faster in a straight line, and is easier
to mod... to go faster in a straight line. It does look pretty badass
too, despite the 'nose-dive' posture.

The WRX is AWD, so it's better for wet, snow, mud, dirt...etc and is
slightly better handling (although the SRT-4 handles awesome for a FWD
car, especially with an LSD). The 06 also come with awesome brakes.
Having lots of negative experience with Chrysler products and lots of
positive experience with FHI, I'd also say that a WRX is a lot more
durable and reliable.
