Default Saloon Impreza STi

If this has been posted before sorry for not paying attention. If not how do you like this baby.



Should they import this? should they stay with the hatchback? discuss

Got the picture from my local forum surrey scoobies.

The front looks wrong for a saloon. The rest is an improvement.

Why O why didnt they make that in the first place... Thats a 100% improvement on the hatch.

As above, it does have a sort of Evo 6 look about it... Still i think it looks fantastic.

From what I gather it may well be made. You can get this shape standard Impreza in Japan and the US so its just a case of STI'ing it.

No chance as the hatch is miles faster than the saloon in the USA


Good photoshopping tho

If you google Subaru US you can see the current spec if this shape. I think its a fairly rubbish engine at the moment.
But at least we know the jig is there to make this shape..... so fingers crossed.
