new impreza...
 

I'm sure this is probably an uber-sial, however..

WTF is this ???

Top Gear | Eye for an STI

:wonder: :cuckoo:

That looks like an expensive wheelie bin.

The JDM sti won't be a looker either, but rumours has it that the UK Sti will be cool :cool:

IMHO

If you muppets are going to steal words from another language and use them you might at least get the spelling right.

it is Über or Ueber

notice the umlaut on the U which means replace U with Ue.

Thank you and goodnight.

This is the reality for now guys...............................:cry:Seen it and sat in it and oooooooooooh ****. It's tacky and not very well built by Subaru standard (and that's a story by itself).

Thats looks pants! Think the STi will need to be totally transformed if they intend to sell any. Look on the bright side it might slow depreciation on the older models:)

Is the salesman on the phone to The Samaritans?

Nah - reckon from his position he has actually shot himself in the back of the head!

Today I too saw the new one "in the flesh".
It's a 168 bhp non turbo top spec doing the rounds of the dealers.
Ghastly metallic goldy/ beigey/ browny colour.
My eyes saw it as Bangley 1 series from the side and rear yet somewhat Saab in the front grille area.
Talking to the sales folk I formed the impression that the hope is that this will generate more interest from those in the Focus / Golf buying segment.
A forlorn hope, unless incentives are good for private and fleet buyers.
Then there's running costs.
Interior, well, in front, felt more confined than my Classic and later I've been in, probably due to "swoopy" dash lines.
Rear space reasonable.
Interestingly shorter overall but with longer wheelbase. Width the same.
Unusual as cars usually get bigger with each new version.
Doors now have glass frames and "shut quality" is ok.
Interior quality one step up but not class leading.
Oh, folding door mirrors, yippee, at last. Still not heated, wtf.
I was told 500 WRX for UK in Oct to see how they go.
Then STI.
Naughty IM, think of the kiddies and the Planet.

Stuns me the closed views of some.

Ive had 9 previous Scoobies, so not scared of spending money on them.

People are making their opinions based on a N/A run of the mill version. Go to your local Subaru or Mitsubishi dealership and look at the N/A versions of their current cars - Now that is crappy for you.

I personally think the new Scooby is a step forward and that as the owners of the current shape have become less desirable, then maybe its good they dont like the new one. Maybe we can get back to the good old days

ill only get one if they make it look identical to the rally proto thats been flying around

ITS CACK!!!

Does it say "the new Impreza, it sticks to the road"?

As does dog 5hit! :(

Thaks for your comment there Wurzel,

I was unaware of the "Ue" spelling, that is a pearl of wisdom that I shall retain and regurgitate at every possible occasion,

Unfortunately, my keyboard does not enable me to easily place an umlaut, and I didn't have time to arse about with the charater map. In the future I shall endevour to spend more time on my posts.

Hope this goes someway to appease your annoyance !

:notworthy

Truly horrible.

I fail to see how larger alloys, a couple of STi badges and a big spoiler could hope to improve this car and when you compare it to the new Evo X, the sick feeling in your stomach intensifies.

Apology accepted :D every little helps

spot on :thumb:


And the UK STI will be different to the JDM STi :D allegally
