Was just looking on NASOIC and came across this...

So what's your thoughts on it? better or worst than the hatchback?

I reckon with some nice 18s, lowered and a bigger spoiler, and it wouldn't be too bad

Still a bit bland in standard form, but miles better than the hatch IMO.

Hmmmmmm...looks like a blobeye that's been designed by BMW.

Still, it's stacks better than the hatch (IMO), that looks like a friggin' Ford Focus!!

For me it has no character at all. Its slips under the radar so easily now.

Its almost like they are toning it all down a few notches to fit in with the other bland cars that you see mass produced by ford, vauxhall, honda etc etc.

Its a No for me.

i think mitsi and subaru are trying to cover all their bases. new scooby comes in saloon and new evo comes in hatch. i think it's up to us to mod them to the way we want them to look.

looks a bit bland.
its got potential though. lower it, 18's, remove spoiler or get a bigger one and then it might look alright.
or just buy a blobeye its easier

I like the hatch better my self but most americans have never been keen on hatches. I don't know why. here is a photoshop thread made on nasioc for the 08 sedans or saloon as you call them.

Some of those PS look really good, looks much better with a splitter and big spoiler.
Can't wait to see how you Americans mod these, but judging from some of the current Imprezas on NASIOC.. I'm sure there'll be some real tasty ones.
