Still undecided if i would buy one yet, this is just the basic spec. Higher spec expected later this year with Recaro seat PPP & sat nav.

Needs bigger and bolder wheels... seems silly to design a whole new car and then keep the same wheels from the cars you have been selling for 4yrs.

Absolutely hideous i would never spend my hard earned on one of those i will stick with what i have now i think.Maybe its time for me to grow up and move over to something German

scoobyhunt07

not keen to be honest

Agreed about needing bigger wheel, and those back lights,

hopefully this is a prank by subaru and the real new impreza will look good and not something that induces vomiting.

i dont even no what to say ?????

TBH when I bought my first Impreza in 2002, I didn't buy it because I thought it looked good - it looked sh1te - I bought it because it went like f*ck!
I think this one looks cr@p, but if it goes even quicker than it's predecessors, maybe I might put my hand in my pocket.
After all, we don't care what others think, do we?
Are they doing D Spec?

Absolute toss!!

That is all that can be said about that.

That doesnt even look like the jap STI's? Looks much more like the WRX we already have.

Paddi70

I agree, some pics already seen, the STi looks a lot meatier than that. Hope were not getting seen off. As no one will by that. Sporty WRX???

Focus RS 2009 here i come

silverscoobydan

New RS looks to be front wheel drive only and about 300bhp. Could be interesting!! They do not have a suitable 4wd system available that would compliment the car. They need to do some work with the set up and hopefully include a LSD or it will be pants.

magicgreg

Hmm, you may want to think about that, the reports of 300bhp are looking like they will come together but the 4wd system that was promised is looking like it won't be happening.

Plus you are going to be paying a big wedge for a Ford Focus!

Just save your pennies up and get the new Nissan GT-R

Looks tame and boring...and those lights eurghhh

Didn't really like the new sportier versions of the new car at first, now they're really growing on me - the standard versions still look **** tbh

Wasnt a great fan of the Evo X until I saw this on the MLR.Looks absolutely awesome.

Going to have a closer look on sunday, but tbh it`s still not looking that good.

Although the new GT-R...... Drool!

magicgreg

Its going to be an R34 GTR for my next motor I think, both Subaru and Mits have disappointed me with their new 'improved' versions of the Imprexa and Evo.

Then as mentioned above I'll have the new GT-R thank you very much, just need to find that £70k that I dropped down the back of the sofa last week.

hmmm i think the wheels could be a bit more in yer face and the styling a bit more bold , some carbon bits perhaps . it will grow on me though !

that new evo X looks awesome,but y o y did they have to spoil the impreza

gDallasK

Very, very disappointing. I can now see why early teaser photos were in deep shade!

This week's Autocar has the headline "Subaru's Mistake" on the front cover - though it actually refers to the new Justy. Next week they will be publishing a face-off between the STI and the Evo X, so they could be running the same headline again.

Seriously though, if the new STI is found to compare badly to the Evo in terms of handling and performance (since it's already game over as far as styling is concerned), Scooby fans will start deserting the brand in their thousands for the Evo. And if the new WRC car doesn't appear quickly and start winning, then Subaru might as well pack up and go home as far as the UK is concerned.

Why is it that I keep feeling that I could run a car company better than the current Subaru management team? I might send them a cv ........

stilover

Now that looks smart as ****.

If the Focus RS is FWD, I'll get the Evo.

weso

I like the new STi.
There I've said it.
And I don't care.
This however looks like a Volvo http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-conte...xrealfront.jpg

The EvoX doesn't look that great when viewed from the front either, the side view above is flattering.

General feeling of disappointment from both sides, both SN and MLR

If any of the other WRC entrants released a road going 300HP 4wd car, they could coin it in, in this current climate.

Not ever gonna have enough pennys for a GTR although they look superb. I'll wait on the Focus RS and see what develops. I also get my old mans Ford discount which could equal up to 22% Discount

That looks awesome.... they've got it right big style on the design... unlike Subaru... I'm sure the production Evo X won't be that low though will it? The new scooby was growing on me until I saw these pics with those wheels.... needs much bigger wheels I reckon, even if it is just for aesthetics!
