Well Well - been to the show and seen the new scoobie - better in the flesh certainly
BUT - am I alone in this? - the wagon looks miles better than the saloon!!!!!!!!!!
That stupid spoiler on the saloon!!
And you can forget about the gold wheels - very naff!! t'was ok in the 90's but totally NAFF now!!
Long live the wagon sitting on silver alloys!!

Long live the wagon! Although not sure about the new shape. Hopefully see more of it this pm on Top Gear.

Tis the smartest and the best as PTMW will no doubt tell you.

As a female colleague commented Gold wheels are naff and silver is best

Flame suit on and waiting

You are both entitled to your opinions, but i persoanlly think they are both as ugly as each other

 

You are both entitled to your opinions, but i persoanlly think gold wheels are cool!

I thought wagon and saloon looked pretty good, (better in real life than magazine pictures) didn't like the saloon's spoiler either. Much prefer MY00 'mid' level rear spoiler, and definately Silver wheels for the NEW scooby!

 

PSLewis & Hogster -
GOLD is more expensive than sliver, so obviously is much more betterer.

Ian Cook - nice one

ps: tech info - gold paint is also lighter than silver thus giving extra 5bhp and 6mph top end!!

 

I had gone off of the Gold wheels on the current shape impreza, but I have to say that they don't look bad on the MY01 (not that they ever looked bad before.... .

Why do I get the impression this is starting to turn in to a repeat of a certain 6SSK's thread......

GOLD!!!!!!!!
are you sure that the nu WRX Scooby Poo silver wheels are't PLATINUM!!!!!!!!!
then they would be a lot more money than the GOLD!!!!

 

She who must be obeyed says gold wheels are naff, so naff they are! (We finally agree on something).

I have been trying to persuade her that a wagon would be perfect for lugging our two labradors around (We currently cart them around in a 306 with the back seats down. They are of course not allowed in the MY00 4 door - all that dog hair!) but she thinks the wagon looks like an estate car and they are a definite no-no. It is of course a 5 door saloon ISN'T IT (She sometimes reads this list so lots of back up please!)

 

Sorry sadman, the wagon IS an estate

 

As discussed in a thread from the middle of last week, a majority of people, including dealers, prefer the 5dr. Personally I think the overall design works better on the 5dr than the 4dr. Having said that I'm still not overly impressed.

PS Congratulations should go to Mr Lewis for at long last writing a post that didn't include P1 and 20k in the same sentence.

 

Thats fighting talk where I come from

Handbags at dawn Josh??????

Pete

 

You wouldn't stand a chance mate!

My handbag's from the Samsonite range, cost £20K (cancelled order)

 

I don't think I've seen a piccy of the wagon.
Has anyone got a link or pic?

blubs

 

I've always prefered the "sportswagon" as the one and only real Q-car!

I just love the names car manufacturers invent for estates these days: wagon, avant, tourer etc etc. It does seem that there are quite a few models around these days where the 'estate' looks better than the saloon. The question is are the saloons getting worse or the estates getting better?
I'm still reserving judgement on the new inpreza until I see it at the weekend at the mshow. I suppose one plus point is that it doesn't look like every other saloon on the road (excluding the chrysler neon of course ).

 

Wagons roll...
Gold - THE classic colour for impreza wheels...just check out the new WRC. Nuff said.
