Some guy from the U.S claims its from a magazine which says this is the new Impreza and its confirmed.

 

Sorry to say this, but yuck.

Looks like someone could'nt decide to go bug eye or normal lights.

 

it looks like a Lexus with the GS front end and Lexus style rear light clusters.

Gordo

 

Any bugs eyes left, beginning to like them quickly .

That is terrible and must be a joke

 

Its a bit pointy at the front and looks like a Chrysler (sp?) from the back

 

ROFL

Not that I give a rats ****, but suppose they decided to facelift the car and it looked even worse than the bugeye. Oh, hang on, if this pic *IS* the facelift, they just did

What would all those people that have been complaining about the bugeye/waiting for the facelift do now. Oh, I know, complain about the facelift and wait for the MY04 facelift LOL

 

I hope that *is* the MY03 - if so, it will help prop up the residuals on the MY01/02s....

Matt

 

I like it

better than the bugeyed horror, but that's just my opinion

 

I agree with "black RB5"
I like it better than the current one,
and the more I look at the picture the more I like it.
I bet that in real life it will be even better.

 

Has to be said - I like it too (over the original bugeye)

However, if Subaru started fitting Morrettes as standard.....

Now that would be a different story.

Is there any mention of the '03 going on a diet?

That's only an impression of the supposed car not the real thing, as its obviously been photoshopped, look for a bonnet shut line leading away from the lights. I've seen similar pictures before in autocar/autoexpress.

 

To me it just looks like the Evo7 !!

Scott

 

Like the rear lights, but hate the front end. Personally, i prefer the morrettes on the bug eye.

 

*cough* photoshop *cough*

 

i suspect the above replies are all from bugeye owners. I reckon the headlights look good (better than goggles). and not a cluster seem on amy other car. The rst looks the same, but then it is a facelift and not a butt lift!

 

i meant most of the above

 

photoshop without doubt

Look at the rear light on the right hand picture. You can see the red and orange of the rear light. But in the other picture they are clear.

 

If only Subaru could make the Impreza look nice!! as well as go well. I mean, the current one is terrible, I cant help laughing at them when I see them, whereas the old shape looks wicked, and like a rally rep should.
This "new" one looks as pants as the current one, hopefully doesnt get any further than the drawing board, and certain individuals in the design department should lose their frikkin' jobs!!

 

yep, photoshop job for sure, look at the way the front light clusters meets the wing....

Thats not the right design you have a computer created image there I have a picture of the new head lights from a Jap magazine. However I dont know how to post it on this system.

 

Photoshop alert! I could do better myself.

Just taken a closer look, and thats appauling. Check out the edge of the indicator area, where it meets the wing. The crease line of the wheelarch just stops at it, so obviously fake. Plus the standard front end has just been stretched a little.
Rubbish.

 

Something dont look right as the headlight is not visable on the front wing in the rear quater pic, you should be able to see the top left corner of the light but it just shows the panel. Also when looking at the small rear quarter pic in coral photo paint and zooming in, I can just see what looks to be the orange wing reflector faintly visable. Also the rear light in the larger of the pictures shows red and yellow when at that angle I would expect to only be able to see white. I have circled the areas with red in this picture

 

Still think my Fireworks'd version is much better of a few months back:

DW it's cool as, but where are the front indicators??

 

PS based on an STi 7:

 

Brendan - they are stealth indicators hidden just underneath the new front lights. The lens covers are blue so they fade into the bodywork until used

DW

 

Try these lights....

Steve,

Those look like 'blob-eyes' rather than 'bug eyes' I'll still to the my STI style lights I think.

 

Main problem I could see with the bug eyes is that fact the whole light area has the reflective silver backing, a massive shiny area that looks kinda crap and gives the car a suprised/shocked 'face'. They just need to bung on the STi7 lights, which look a whole lot better imho.
