the grill on the bottom looks a bit too big and empty to me...

My thoughts exactly!!

I'm with you on that, especially on one of my favorite cars, although I wouldn't necessarily call it a pig snout. The grille you mention is somewhat Alfa-Romeo-like, and is meant to accentuate, like Saab, Subaru's experience with aircraft. It simulates a fuselage cross-section with two wings.

I wouldn't even call this redesign a "face-lift" per se......it is very minor at best. The front end is exactly the same as the 2006 except for the number of bars in the grille and the size of the foglights.

If you look at this new grille closely you will notice that it also simulates aircraft wings, but much more subtly and discretely than the so-called ''pig snout". Notice how the two "wings" slope upward gently from the Subaru emblem in the middle. In aircraft design, that up-slope of the wings is called "dihedral" and is done to promote stability in level flight and turns.

I really dunno what it is, but every time I get wasted, I end up checking CL

Probably my favorite looking sedan in its class.

For whatever reason the bigger front grill and revised bumper makes the entire car look taller.

What did they do to the rear??
