If that is what it is going to look like, it appears they have made it harder to fit a front mount intercooler to it as that hole in the front doesn't look big enough to get a decent FMIC behind

Isn't that what the scoop is for? A top mounted Intercooler - why should they worry about space for a front mounted one if it's not needed??

Thats like saying that Sony haven't put a space on the 'side' of the TV for the TV Screen

Shouldn't be called an "Impreza" anymore, as it seems to be completely different car. Maybe if they retired the Impreza name and got on with a new one it might be more acceptable.

I actually quite like it (apart from the grill). A little more reserved than the usual "look".

The official reason there is no turbo/WRX in the UK is.........because they've pledged to lower their overall CO2 output to the EU. This takes into account every product in your portfolio, so in dropping the Turbo model and concentrating on the regular cars, the overall figure should drop. Bye bye WRX. The STi survives because it sells in too smaller numbers to have the same influence.
so it appears that it is only Europe that are bothered about global warming and carbon emmisions.

The Japs and septics don't seem to give a ****.

I can now see more imports than ever hitting UK shores

Those pictures are exactly the same as the supposed 'leaked' ones that were posted earlier in the week, someone has just flipped them round and changed the colour in photoshop.

It probably will look very similar to that when it is unveiled, but I seriously doubt that those pictures are genuine.

the general shape of the new hatchback body style in conjunction with the new chrome grille make the '08 Impreza look like the ******* offspring of a Kia Spectra5 and Toyota Camry
Agree with that - it's dogsh1t.

Cool

I must be one of the few that thinks the car looks the absolute mutts nuts.

I have already put my name down for one in black.

It is a vast improvement In my opinion....
