Great - another annual iteration of the Scooby leading to yet more devalued cars out there - and hence a devalued brand. It's shocking how Subaru can pretty much change the car every single year with something new - and yet still keep the old old chassis that could do with being trashed and redeveloped. It's must be 14 years old now...

Totally hideous front end.... Why do FHI keep mucking about with these ridiculous designs?
And yes, it does look like a previous-generation Seat.....
When will they learn????

i'll be surprised if the wrx will be any more than 230bhp and the sti 270bhp
remember that this is a facelift,
and the NEW NEW impreza will be out in a few years time, i think they want THAT one to be special

A 2.5 engine would certainly bring a lot of buyers in I would have thought. And would be an incentive for many people who may not be overkeen on the looks, but have been thinking of having a 2.5 engine imported/built to stick in current car. Probably as economical to trade up especially with warranty and the fact the engine will be properly tested. Good bhp potential with reasonable mods too. Is 2.5 block really going to happen??

High performance sport-tuned 4-wheel independent suspension
Brembo performance braking system with Super Sport ABS

it makes a wider choice now, as in my local paper, mitsubishi is now offering £5k (yes £5,000) OFF on all evos
