Saw a new 2008 Impreza in black at KT Greens this weekend.

Not ugly, just very bland - So much like a Mazda 3.

Good chance to get up close and decide for yourself...

 

I was wondering when they'd be in. Might try and pass by soon.

 

Saw a demonstrator today,absolute poo.Could pass for a Kia!What the hell are subaru thinking bringing this out looking the way it does.

I spotted Triangle's demonsterator in Chesterfield on Friday. Only noticed it because of the stickers plastered down the side. Far from a head turner.

 

had a look at the red one that's at green's poooooooooooooooooow
think the wrx 270 is better

 

If Tiff's comments on last weeks 5th Gear are anything to go by, then I fear for the long term viability of Subaru as a performance marque...

I bet Mitsubishi are well chuffed... Subaru have just ruled themselves out of a rally brand name that was theirs by sheer weight of numbers (in an area that only had two real contenders), simple economics and a car that was really better than an Evo from the daily useability and driveability of the thing...

I really hope the STI is something much, much better and the likes of Prodrive and Litchfield / Powerstation can really pull something out of the bag, because I seriously think the Evo X is the car people will go for...

I know I would...

 

Had a look at one the other day they look cheap and nasty just like the advert

 

Saw a silver one at R N GOLDENS, Even the staff there hate it, looks like a bmw or astra from a distance.

 

Called in at KT's for a 3 minute nosey last night and I can't say it's any better in the metal than the abortion it looks in the pics. If the STi drives how we'd all love it to then I may forgive it its looks, but I can't see the number of Golf/Focus/Astra etc drivers buying the base models outweighing the performance crowd who are going to desert them in vast numbers. The STi and 3rd party derivatives are gonna have to be very special and significantly better than the 'X' to stand a chance in the market. For me, a Forester STi or EvoX are much higher on the want list for now.

 

THE NEW Forester looks really well

 

Seen the price of the STI £25K ain't bad !

Still don't want one tho'

Dunx

P.S. Might kill the piggy bank for a three door....
