Default new impreza replacement concept revealed




The Viziz concept car has been revealed at the Tokyo show.

"......After an extensive and long-running uglification programme, Subaru is starting to make half decent-looking cars again, though the presence of four manhole-sized exhaust outlets on the Viziv Performance Concept hints that this car is going to be a) a WRX replacement (although they did launch a Japanese-only limited edition S208 version of the current WRX at the show) and b) not suitable for people without a lot of tattoos and a dog called The Punisher...."

And probably the Japanese will again get the 2ltr engine and we'll get the hated 2.5

Concept not replacement. Hybrid - likely with Toyota owning a fair chunk. 2.0 or smaller Toyota blown DI petrol - likely.
