Your right!!!
Im not a fan....I prefer MY06 all day long ... tho some will like it?

 

"The bad news, however, is that Subaru is not expected to launch a diesel variant until 2009."

Thats a relief for all us Petrol Heads !!!!

 

Oh dear
It's a sad,, sad day

can you tell I dont like it?

 

Well, it IS Autocar, so expect the fininshed version to look nothing like it!!

I do hope it doesn't look like that; the front is fine, but the rear looks just daft!!!

 

I like it, sure it's a bit of a departure from what were used to but i for one would be a proud lad to own one

 

SHOCKING

 

That is definately the finished version. I have the magazine here. This car is making its first debut in New York in April.

 

I quite like it - the rear lights are a bit iffy but its nice

 

The rear looks like a cross between the old Civic (top half) and Skoda Fabia with a taller version of the OE STi rear wing bolted on

 

"STi is a rework of the current 2.0L Turbo" ???

And it says that car is wider than the current one - even more car park dings then !!!

 

I think the guys at AutoExpress have their kids trained up on Photoshop

 

nice

 

Just looks like yet another dodgy photoshop to me? The line where the bonnet meets the grille is completely wrong

I think I'll believe all these 'what will the new Impreza look like' threads when they actually are genuine photos of the real car!

 

3 door would look better

 

Agree mate,like a minefield with all these threads and pictures.

 

YUK.YUK.YUK.
I thought the My06 was ugly at first but it has grown on me, but this new one is really yuk and i know this one will not grow on me.

I will stick with my JDM Blobeye

Its a cross between the Astra and that small BMW, Yuk it will look like every other car on the road.

 

I don't mind it - if only because it will stop people looking at my Bug like its the ugly fatherless child of Subaru. You'll all have a new hate target now

From my perspective it looks like a funny looking blue new civic.

In all seriousness though - it does look like a dodgy photoshop - look how that spoiler 'fits' on the rear-nearside - its on the car wonky!!

 

No, it will be uglier than every other car on the road

Take away the spoiler and the back end is pure 1 series, front end is vectra, glass house has a touch of A3 about it.

 

More photoshopped Mazda 3's IMHO.

 

I'm sticking with my blobeye, that is horrible. Astra/Mazda front and a shopping trolley rear. No thanks.

 

Strange, someone only just mentioned a cross between an STI and a Yaris would be interesting!

They released a hatchback impreza official pic not long before they revised the bug eye and that never happened.

maybe they are naltering the body to make the imp match up to that new powerful corsa!!!

 

Looks like a pile of ****e to me, design wise! Reminds me of Astra VXR tbh.

 

Those pictures are typical Auto Express cartoons - artists' impressions at best. That rear spoiler is particularly laughable, though I do prefer the front end. One day Subaru will manage a look that isn't rubbish and which lasts more than one generation of car!

 

So what we calling this one then??????, longeye???, skinnyeye??? or catseye etc, should have a competition to name it,

I like it actually.

Mac

 

Not a fan. I do like the Evo though.

 

It looks like a Corolla.

Maybe something to do with the fact Toyota owning Subaru and them wanting to broaden the core appeal.

Not for me thanks, I`m going down the Evo X road when thats available.

If thats then new face of Subaru they`ve lost me as a punter.

 

I agree with the Mazda 3 photoshop.

Have been told previous that the scoop was going due to pedestrian safety????

 

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
