Cool Exclusive pics of the new Impreza P3.

Exclusive pics from the Hemel Hempstead Motor show.

First impressions are :-

1. Its a bit "boxy" but an improvement on recent Subaru design.

2. Prodrive have obviously had a hand in it from the subtle use of logos.

3. Quality of the cabin is a huge improvement.

4. It will obviously appeal to the younger driver.

Ah, that's a spoiler, I thought it was some sort of prehistoric standing stone arrangement. Oh well, another point in its favour then.

The stuff people are buying these days it has to be worth £2.5k on ebay.

I reckon it would look much better with multi-spoke and darker wheels. The white on white look is pants, sorry. Also the wheels seem to be sitting proud of the bodywork. You didn't check the offset before you fitted them, did you?

Looks like it has a FMIC to me, no need for a scoop I guess.

It's getting PPP and lowered springs soon.

Scoops still in the body shop.

The things you find yourself doing to keep the kids quiet on a rainy bank holiday !!!

Still, if Prodrive want a few tips on aerodynamics before the next rally I'm always available.

Cheers, Ian.

P.S For those who don't get it ..... try the Insurance forum, its probably more to your liking.

LOL at the excuse that you "did it for the kids", rather than made it because you thought it might be funny (it wasn't).

Jaydash,
if you can imagine that I'd waste 2.5 hours building a car out of Prodrive wheel boxes for no other reason than I could post it on here, rather than be out taking said wheels for a spin, you can't be a Scooby driver.

If your interested I've got a good second hand P3 sitting in my dining room. Only 2 not very careful owners.

Cheers, Ian.

The prodrive stickers really work on that too. not too sure how it will fair through the water splashes unless its been treated with some sort of ingenius technical anti papermashy coating

Any chance you can take some pics outside maybe on the drive to see what it looks like outdoors
