Detail Pix of 2008 WRX
Here's some photos I've just taken of the NZ spec 2008 WRX
IMPREZA WRX Photo site :wonder: |
not nice at all :razz:
|
Lots and lots of plasic in the engine bay... BMW made that mistake on the 330d..
|
Uck, How bad is that?
:eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :cry: :cry: How bad does that look, hopefully it'll look better in the flesh, but I doubt it !!!!
|
Interesting to see how the plastic manifold performs, it could be very free flowing and shouldn't transfer much heat.
|
Red line at 6.5K!?! Time to buy a dieseasel...... what is going on in the world..:confused:
|
Inspired move of the air vents :Whatever_
|
Awful :mad:

Although it does have a "E" button and pressed on the "Fly" can instantly change between Performance and economical ECU setting ;) The STi has "SI" drive, "VCD" & DCCD :cool: IMHO having driven the S-GT a few months back, you'll definately what the 18" package, spring kit and a ECU tweak. certainly more tweakable than previous "WRX's" Tony |
I like the dials but sadly thats it!! What have they done:nono: :nono: :nono:

Terrible!! Looks like a mongrel crossbreed of all sorts of mediocre cars! The STI might get away with it with widened body but this WRX really is crap. PUNY!!!
|
Its rank, no hang on its not even that good.

Trying to learn a lesson from the introduction of new models in the past, most people don't like change and then it grows on you. However apart from the dash I can't find anything nice to say about the 2008 WRX.
The hawkeye has all the bits that made a STi special a few years ago, like vents in the bumper, twisty side sills, zenons, upside down struts etc. I wouldn't change my hawkeye for one of those even if Subaru offered me a straight swap. :( Does that mean Hawkeye owners can look forward to good residual values ? :D |

Will the "Hot hatch" market that pay £22-25K step up and pay £27-31K and go to top of Tax bracket , as enthusiasts have done, to own a Scooby. IMHO Tony |

IMHO Tony The new Impreza is growing on me (STI only ;) ) but I can't see people spending £27-31k for a hot hatch |

I didn't buy a Subaru because of the looks, but that is something else.
I just wouldn't be seen dead in it. Big thumbs down. |
OMG! Here's hoping that someone from Subaru GB might occasionally pass an eye over our much respected forum.
SUBARU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THIS LOOKS LIKE AN ABORTION CROSS OF A BMW 1 SERIES AND A KIA CEE'D (? SPELLING?) I love my MY04 WRX for its looks, performance and just missing the Band G Road tax! The new "derivative" only has the performance and that's debatable ' cos' the 2.5 sounds sihte, in my humble opinion. If they thought they had it wrong with the bugeye let's watch these fly off the shelves! |

I've just had a mooch around a few STi's, great looking cars, the arches make all the difference. I'll try to get some photo's tomorrow.

Any danger of a saloon and will that be a dogs dinner?
