Subaru Impreza front, IS-300 SportCross back
Do you guys feel the same? I feel that the front of our P5 look so much like the 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS version, and the back of our car look so much like the Lexus IS-300 SportCross Wagon.
It's not a bad thing while it looks good.
A while ago, I show my P5 photos to my friend in UK, who never saw a P5 before. He mistaken my car as a Subaru Impreza when he first look at the front photo.
For the back, adding 2 round shape red brake like along the 2 sides of the license plate will make the back of our car look 90% like the IS-300 wagon.

Haha the SportCross does looks like the P5, The Altezza/IS200/IS300 looks like the Pro sedan also. They just copied us.
As for the front end, I think many cars have that look to them, being the big airdam, foglights mounted to the corners of the front, etc. The BMW M3, M5, Subaru WRX, Lancer EVO all have that look to them.

Not only the back, the front of the IS 300 is almost the same. The headlamps are almost the same. The only thing different is the foglamps. Even the interiors of the MP5 have some similar look as the IS 300. I have a friend who has the IS 300 sedan and we make the comparison.

Hahaha, just because Cubit Zerconia looks like a real dimond... doesn't make cubit zerconia anything close to a real dimond.
It may look like an Impreza... but hell I'd rather have a Impreza if I could afford one rather than my Protege... or a lexus for that matter. But hey, what can you do... you're a poor college student... so your girlfriend has to settle with the dimonds imported from the planet Zerconia...
(but you can always tell her that its real
heh heh unless she's an apraser... booooo yah)
peace

you are on crack, the p5's are smiling and the imprezza's are frowning, dual Vs single projector HL, as for the IS300 wagon i don't think so... the wiper wipes the other way 
and also it has lexus lights (red dots on hatch door) and it has REAL altezza's. the shape of the door is totaly diffrent too, the glass isn't even close to the same angle as the p5's

I couldn't decide...
I couldn't decide if I liked the Lexus or the Mazda better so I bought both. Actually I've had the P5 for a little over a year right now and last month I had the opportunity to grab a SportCross returned from lease with 4000km's on it for dirt cheap so I jumped on it, that and I needed a little bit of a nicer car for business ( gotta impress the clients you know!) I love em both though however they are two completely different beasts, the Lex is such a soft ride and handles well all at the sametime while my P5 is sportier feeling and handles even better. Just wish I had been able to get the Lex in a different colour, don't get me wrong I love Silver but my friends get the two confused all the time 'cause of how similar they are!

About the Sportcross ... Lexus is ripping off Mazda on this one. Remember the Sport20 has been out since '98.
Put big foglights on the front of any car and it'll start to get that "rally-inspired" look that Subaru has done for years.

To me, the big *** front bumper on the P5 reminds me of an aftermarket kit. I thought it looked good at first, when there wasn't too many Protege 5's on the road, now there is like a shitload, and I'm kinda getting tired of the looks. It looks too played out. I know a dude who has a P5 and he thinks its too played out too, he is swapping the ES front bumper on his. Hope 2 C how it looks.

I think Lexus had this design for long time ago. They have been selling that Sportcross alot earlier than in North America.
