The yanks lacked 4 pots on their WRXs for a good while, i wouldn't base what the US gets as a measure of the UK spec.

The main thing is its got more legroom in the rear. whhooopeeee

jonathan100

is the current US impreza the same as the JDM ie does it have a 2ltr rather than the uk 2.5

I read somewhere that the WRX isn't coming to the UK, but the STI is....am I right..???

And quieter??!! Maybe all of the main differences inc 2 pot brakes are just for the US market?

Smifster

It will be in the 5 door only.

Has the market really changed that much for performance saloons? Are current Subaru owners really complaining of a lack of rear legroom, or boot space?
Also, I suppose the 5-door won't be seen as a direct competitor for the Evo X, as the Subaru is now just a hot hatch?

Nope the US got the 2.5 engine before we did, current US WRX and STi is 2.5.

I read that the WRX and estates were being dropped in Europe. The article implied that the STI would only be available as a hot hatch, but I can't see that being received well. TBH if I want a hot hatch in the next year or two I would wait for the new Focus RS AWD. Imprezas and Evos work better as super saloons IMO.

dont like the addition of sarasquares bonnet scoop

newbiefreddy

I'm sorry!!!!!!!!!!

I quite like the look of it

However its not an impreza!!!

I agree with some other post it should have been called some thing else and then maaaaaay be then it would of gone down a bit better.

Thats the saloon any way, the 5 door still looks carp and is definatly a rover 200 with a face lift and a toyota scoop

I'm glad i bought my wagon i think it might even be worth a little more now
