Its about time that the stock Sti gets 300 Bhp
and whats that New turbo arrangement called a Turbo Parallel Hybrid (TPH) ??


http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/60...hatchback.html

 

OMG!

It's a Citroen!

 

I hope this is some sort of sick joke

 

I won't ever be buying one of those.

The 2006 model is growing on me though.

 

guarantee you it won't look like that.

 

I must have missed something, is this right?
2.5litre for the 2006 WRX & STi?

 

its gotta be a wind-up. The design is simply awful. Im sure this particular project will be scrapped or atleast radically amended

 

guys all the new cars are heading in that futuristic fashion, may just accept it

 

Show me a new car thats as bad as that.

At least everyone with an old Subaru can cash in on the demand for the older shapes....I can't see anyone wanting to use their own cash to buy that.

 

saw one in the flesh today at TEG that had just been delivered from pro drive for rally prep,, awesome looking car,, love at first sight, pic dont do it justice,,IMHO

 

I want one,,

 

What the 2007 model (which I like) or the new new shape I shall refer to as Egor?

If its Egor......can I have some of the crack your smoking please..

 

The jap 2006 model,, i take it thats egor ?
was white and looked awesome,, rear cluster looked cool but not chav and love the new grill, a lot smaller and fatter,, gives it real menace,

 

Sorry Steve,

This crack I'm smoking got me talking jibber jabber.

I like the 2006 model....the new thing on the autoexpress link is horrible....

sorry.

Now where did I put my pipe.

 

!!! they cant make that! Or sell it fot that matter!!! lots of manufactuers(SP?) used to make concept cars like this; but is it for real now! is it going to happen!!

NOOOOOOO

Scotty

 

Hadn't everybody seen this on the Scoobymag thread?

 

Concept car,prototype whatever u wanna call it blow it up there is no need for that sort of thing(2007 number).2006 number however not bad but it needs a tall spoiler to grab the attention it deserves.

The first paragraph tells a story....

"To avoid a backlash from outraged enthusiasts, Subaru still hasn't ruled out developing a saloon for the next-generation Impreza range"

That was published back in April though. Dunno if that particular story went anywhere just strayed across it looking for the pics of the Evo X concept to compare the two cars.

Don't mind the 2007 car from the INSIDE I must say. Outside though.....hmmmm

 

The B5 is truely hideous...

Looks like Mitsubishi will have a lot more sales - especially if they stick to the EVO X concept styling !

 

I'm not so sure.

do the designers all sit down and say to each other 'right, lets design a reeeeeally ugly car...!'

 

Actually your not far from the truth there, are you sitting comfortably….



The day it was designed it was 'bring your kids to work' day. You know what happened next. The guy who owns Subaru, well his kid drew a crap picture and everyone had to agree it was great for fear of reprisals. The next minute it was given the green light, here endth the story.

 

Looks like a futuristic Austin Princess, or Renault Fuego (sp?).

At least Bugeye owners will be relieved - there'll soon be an uglier Impreza than theirs.

 

People just don't read things fully nowadays...

...the new Subaru concept will be called a B5 when it arrives in production form.

Personally, I think Subaru have turned their styling around - IMO the MY06 is the best looking Impreza to-date. The B5 is a great looking car, although their colour scheme for the concept is totally inappropriate.

 

Agree about the MY06 being the best of the new age models - still think the P1 / Sti5 is the nicest Impreza of all tho...

But the B5 !! Does Homer Simpson head up the design team these days ???
