Yet another radical change of face for the impreza.

Its not i dont like it, i dont mind it.

Its just the impreza face has been changed so many times in recent years the car has lost its identity

its better than i thought it couldve been, but not as nice as id have liked it too be...

I kinda agree with Frayz, except the facelifts at least kept the basic concept of the car, 4 door saloon almost jap muscle car. This is such a step away from the traditional Impreza that im not sure Subaru could get away with calling it an impreza ( if you follow )

and the Subaru Stars are incorrect, ie, the big star is always to the left.

It should be on this side ..... The large star in the WRC graphics should always be towards the FRONT of the car..

Pity it appears to be a PShop job, as I quite liked the look of this car. Here's hoping that the plain version is right and it's just some marketing monkey at Subaru that's got the graphics wrong on a rally 'mockup'.

Why the change again

Wish they would just leave car styles alone, they are changed as much as premiership football shirts ....

Do like it as a car, but not as a Subaru replacement

Blatantly, Subaru are copying Mitsubishi with there Evo X which looks a lot better and much nice looking than that new Impreza v10.

That don't look too bad, but in my eyes the Impreza is dead if donna look like that.

I think we could arque for all ertitiny about this new impreza and comapre it to the impreza's of old - Classic shape, but I think we have to face facts, that Subaru are changing there image.

I think I agree the majority here....the front is really nice, still says scooby to me, but the rear is an eye-sore. How can you completly re-design a car, change it from a saloon to a hatch and still call it an Impreza?!?!

I think Subaru should be thinking about a saloon version, fingers crossed eh?
