Question Come on admit it

Alright, how many of you so called Subaru enthusiasts actually like the look of the new Impreza? Come on now, don't be afraid, you will not be treated like Pariah’s, it's nothing to be ashamed of

Come on now out of the closet

Not I my friend. I don't even like the evo. I have never liked hatchbacks and will never buy one. A saloon has also cut the mustard with me. The latest Impreza i will ever own will be a blob unless Subaru sort things out. If I don't buy a blob I will buy an evo 340.

I admire you for coming out of the closet. However you will still be boiled in oil and your fingernails will be plucked.

What are you on? It is a hideous design. My eight year old grandson could design a better car

Subaru will "never sort things out" they are, were and always have been since 1999 been pandering to the US market. We get the left overs from a typically US motivated design.

Bin them off and buy a true European car, I hear the new Octavia vRS is very good.

Already wear glasses mate

I just think its different, alright it might be down to australia's love of hatchbacks and subaru's biggest market is oz (so i was told by an ex prodrive guy), there is also the possibility that subaru want to try a smaller car in the wrc seeing how the citroens and fords do so well compared to the larger scoob saloon. Generally though i reckon it could be something quite good in the flesh

Il get me coat

It's fecking hideous

Mind you if it starts winning in the WRC I reserve the right to totally change my mind and claim I was behind it all the time.

So its seems that all pre hatch scoobs will become classics of sorts then. Perhaps we will soon witness a climate where all existing scoobs will be more sort after. Perhaps we are witnessing the death of an era. Both Subaru and Mitsubishi are mad. Doesn't this surely open a door to a market for someone? If 4 door 4WD saloon appeal to so many why change it. F**K it, perhaps I ought to buy as many dead saloon chassis as poss and get them back o the road.

As most have said here not keen on Hot hatches and the new one doesn't exactly float my boat I certainly don't think just some blue paint and gold wheels will fix this one

IMHO Subaru making a hatchback made the right decission both in WRC terms and commercially

Would I buy the WRX...... NO

Would I buy the STi........Probably but it have loads btter than the WRX

Would I buy JDM or UK...... time will tell
