Actually I can imagine it looking alright when the STi body change are made. Bit too much like an Evo though I think
Every other Impreza since the classic has been panned in terms of style. But we all come round in the end

Daz i think that is nearly what my saloon is
Also it does look a bit pap but then again so do every other normal Reps cars
Insignias
Astras
Fords
I hazard a guess if some of the guys on here got hold of it, it would have potential
but also not everyone wants a nice looking car but just one thats reliable and goes,
take Pslewis as an example :P

PMSL at this thread.
The "Classic" Proper knicker elastic snapper that was; NOT
"Bugeye" Beyond words
"Blobeye" Improvement, but no looker
"Hawkeye" Tweeks to the above, probably best Impreza to date
"Hatch" Bland hatchback like all the rest
2011 Saloon Same as above bland.
The STi version of that 2012 saloon I think will look the best yet. But it's does not take much to beat the history of the Impreza when it comes to looks

With the launch of the fourth generation Subaru Impreza, the Japanese company will separate the Impreza model from the WRX and STI variants. Whilst the new 2012 Subaru Impreza naturally aspirated models will go on sale as soon as supply production from Japan is sorted, the WRX and STI variants will continue to be sold in the third generation shape for the forceable future.
Speaking to CarAdvice in New York, Subaru’s Impreza Product General Manager, Mr Akihide Takeuchi, said work on the replacement turbocharged engine has commenced but would not give any further details. He did confirm that it will not be based on the EJ25 and will not simply be a turbocharged version of the new boxer engine.
He said that the new boxer engine was designed with fuel efficiency and performance in naturally-aspirated application as top priority, making its design architecture less suitable for a turbocharger.
Mr Takeuchi said that a decision on the future platform of the WRX and STI was due very soon. Talk of separation between the Impreza and its sport derivatives makes us wonder if we might see a two-door WRX/STI model in the future.
On the surface this may sound like bad news for WRX/STI fans but it can indeed mean that future models will be built from the ground up to be sports cars as oppose to just being an Impreza with performance bits.
In related news, talk of a hybrid Impreza is still on-going with Mr Takeuchi admitting that “hybrid is very important” as his company continues to study the technology for viability.
Perhaps the next generation Impreza WRX/STI models will be turbocharged hybrids? Only time will tell.

Everyone knows why they are doing it. The impreza isn't selling as well as the mondeos and insignias of today so they are using the Impreza name to generate revenue with a cheap car.
The only saving grace is that they might make the STi completely different.
