I quite like that. Those alloys are pretty nifty too As a base model it's a stunner compared to the current one, but it would be good to see a concept with all the STI gubbins on it.

Not the ugliest car I've seen, but it would be worth buying just for the wheels!

Yet more evidence that every car in the world is homogenizing to look the same until we finally reach the point where you can't tell the difference between one car and the next.
It just looks so generic like every other boring car on the street. The opposite of what a scooby should be.
Also, No Scoop = No Impreza

i like it myself, i just love the way that everyone knocks a new scoob each time they come out. the classic was ugly, the bug worse and in my opinion the hawkeye burned my eyes that bad that the hatch looked better. the best looking impreza was the blobeye.

I agree, never understood why people thought the Hawkeye was the best looking, as the front end looks pretty homosexual in standard form, especially when parked next to an Evo8/9.

Interesting that its branded "Impreza" as for 2011 they have droped the Impreza name and are calling the vehicles "WRX" and "WRX STI".
According to most leaked sources the new coupe will be Called SCION

Also waiting fo the new mk2 BOXER engine to come out Summer 2011 ish. front mounted intercoller and Turbo so engine further back and lower, a big step in making room electric motor for the 2011 Hybrid engine

Can't see that taking part in any rallies. Too big/heavy.
Still have hopes Subaru will return to WRC....

The front end and rear end on that are perfect however from the side it just doesnt look right. A bit longer allowing for a boot and four seats and it would be absolutely perfect. I'd certainly buy one.

I think it looks great! A positive step in design from what we have now.

Sure it's going to look like other manufacturers car's out there but those all have similarities to eachother anyway.

If it looked too different it would run the risk of only selling to a small market or niche again. Subaru need a volume selling car and with the different variants that it could come in will help appeal to a much bigger market.

Well done Subaru!

Maybe that will be the new impreza (they said they were dropping the name) and perhaps the impreza we all know and love will continue under the name wrx? Just a thought....

its an astra coupe and not impreza looking at all. but i like it but it doesn't have the wow factor. And it'll be a 1.8 to meet emissions regulalations and it'll be 2 wheel drive to save on fuel - someone stop Brussels hearing about it though and everything will be fine

it doesnt look like an impreza, but neither did the hatch. The only thing that said impreza was the bonnet vent, this new one has no bonnet vent?? IMPREZAS DESERVE BONNET VENTS

Looks really nice

There as as many realities as there are people.....every person has their very own perception of how they see things.....

how awful life would be if we were all clones and all liked the same things..........

I think it's alright tbh... I know it doesn't look like how a 'proper' Impreza should, but neither did the hatch tbh. Those headlights are mean! No wing mirrors though!?
