Talking The New Impreza!

Saw the new Impreza while on holiday in Tokyo. Very impressed. Took a few photos:-
http://gallery136343.fotopic.net/c616555.html

What do you think of it?
And the price was only 3,402,000 Yen which I convert to about £17,290!!

I've looked into it. Should be working now. Sorry about the blurred pics. My camera must have been on the wrong setting. The Engine pictures were difficult to take as the glass cabinet was very reflective.

I think Subaru employed a designer who also works for SEAT or something.

Nothing nice to look at at all. Looks quite horrid like all the new shapes, and WTF is that rear window spoiler all about.

Six Cylinder!!

Chain Drive Cambelt!!

Looks better than anything this side of the Classic ...........

Makes the Classic and the MY2006 the ones to have - the BugEye and BlobEye will be forgotten, will be for the cheaper end of the market, for those who can't afford a good looking one.

EXCELLENT!!

Pete

each to their own but I dont like it either wtf is the back window spoiler all about... they could have just slapped a wiper on there and be done with it. Glad I bought the 2005 STi tbh, but as I said each to their own. Some will like it some won't.
