Pick a colour!

Griff

p.s. still not sure it is as nice as a Blobby....!

 

WOW. Thats an improvement over the current Blobby IMHO. Looks like it got real attitude at the front rather than the bland look of the current model. Might be me looking to rejoin the clan

 

It is just that Alfa-esque central hole that spoils it - wider arches and lower stance + 2 door option would have been nice..

 

New bumper adds insult to injury (no pun intended) by making car 2" longer and I suspect no lighter!

If you are going to add 2" - do it to the arches

If you are going to take off 2" - take it off the roof and make it a 2 door coupe

Oh yes, and dont forget the 350 lb ft 2.5 with DSG......

 

I was thinking the front end looked more like something from the Seat range.

 

I like the new rear diffuser, not so keen on the front alfa bit. saying that I didnt like the bug or blob eyes either at first, (still not keen on the bug eye) but they do grow on you when you hear the growl

 

i think it looks w*nk Yet another headlamp restyle. And its not even an improvement. Its just gone froma ok design to an ok design. Its not an improvement

 

Wow! That looks really nice. Its way better than any of the spy shots I have been looking at. Of course, my opinion may change when I see it in the flesh.

But if its as nice as that, I'm already saving!

 

Wow i think it looks great!!!

Like just said it does look a bit like a Seat from the front

 

I think the next SAAB will look uncannily like this

Of all the Newages, this one is the least offensive upon initial impressions. Bodes well since although ugly, the bug and the blob have become accepted IMO (well the blob has to most)

 

I quite like it. But then, I'm leaning more towards liking the bug eyes at the moment.

From the right angles they look much more aggressive than the blobs and this new version

 

THIS PAGE gives you the same views of the STi, WRX and the Wagon.

Notice the WRX has no boot spoiler at all!

 

Ta very muchly!

I'll take one. Black looks very good! As does Blue and white, less sure about red and that funny almost beige colour!

NS04

 

Erm totaly undecided about it

kind of like the STI but think the grill could be improved, but as for the WRX, as much as we all hate the standard spoiler I think it looks worse without one at all !!!

Theres also a WRX with a big boot spoiler, so maybe its an option?

Anyone got any info on the stripped out Spec C 'competition' version.

They are only £23,995 but are apparently not suitable for road car use.

Lights are from SAAB, grill from SEAT….Looks horid..the only good looking impreza is a classic GC8! Can’t believe they left the rear as it was, just a minor change but still looks a monstrosity! Think I will stay with my classic until they design something better.

 

I totally hate the front grille. It's too Alfa and SEAT.

I quite like the overall look of the cars. The headlight restyle works for me. Not sure about the rear lights.

The Wagon looks to have gone upmarket. It looks quite stylish.

J.

 

They've lost the words SUBARU on the back then (replaced by the badge instead).

Looks a bit plain without the words

Not sure about the front either...

 

yes - somehow Wagon does look better - but then I dont want a wagon - i want a SPECIAL STi @ Jap prices!

 

I'll take a black one please. No one ever bought a scoob cause they are pretty. I include Foresters and Legacy's in that.
If you want pretty go buy an Alfa GTA .... and a second car for the long periods when its in the garage.

So long as the scoob has the right internals I couldn't give a stuff whether its got a SEAT/ALFA/whatever grill and its 2" longer shorter higher or lower.

'Moan the scoobs.

 

looks cool from the top http://www.subaru.co.jp/impreza/specc/index.html

 

me thinks they have lowered the STI ram scoop even though I.M. & Prodrive forbid me from my reducing mine (got used to it now - however must look pretty offensive to most women...)

Quite like the WRX in silver as a Q car - just give me my 350 lb torque - could remove STi rear spoiler and wait for 2.5 I suppose - dont see why the 2.5 isnt coming out same time as face change - latest wisdom says Spring 06 - so summer 06 - a year off before PPP extract 350 -

will be interesting to see what Prodrive make of Ian Lichfields comments re 2.5 - ie fragile for 'big numbers' - frankly I think the T25's 400 lb ft would totally dominate the driving experience in the same way the torque of the 500 Griff is less desirable than the 4.3s err, finess - I am sure I would prefer around 350-360 lb ft with same weight and similar gearing. - But i really would love it this Autumn at a price I can afford -

An early T25 with the lower torque would be great, but would have to be a lot less money when a new STi UK import is £20k + say £2k to upgrade to 350 - would be tempted @ below £21k for the T25... - suppose it should happen as soon as the new 2.5 PPP is announced in the Spring - meanwhile a WRC or similar upgrade looks tempting for the winter...

 

I LIKE IT

 

WRX now gets black and blue sti like (badgeless) interior!

 

Link below for the WRX page from Subaru Japan Website

http://www.subaru.co.jp/impreza/wrx/.../02/index.html

Showing the WRX with, Sti style blobs on the side of the front bumper, Sti side skirts, Sti dials, Sti high level spoiler.

Hope it comes to the UK like this. I must admit the MY06 looks better every time I look at it.

 

Where's the fogs on the WRX?

WRX doesn't look like a Scooby at all IMHO and you can spot the GM/Vauxhall esque lights a mile off. Oh dear what have GM done
