Best pic of the new Impreza yet

I think the STI will look pretty good IMO.

The WRXs look better in the flesh.

Pointless? No, not really...........it's the ONLY angle from which the car doesn't just resemble a Rover 25!!!

I think it's just emphasising the flared arches.

They're not arches, these are arches:

Who says this is the actual STi body though? Instead of a widened WRX body to just cater for the increase in track, but without the STi design?

Bring on October and the Tokyo Motor Show.... the whole forum is waiting!!!

Anyone seen this though? the STi had better be special to keep up:

This week Tokyo was holding the "MOTOR SPORT JAPAN 2007", an event where the best from the JDM was available for everyone to touch, enjoy and even ride on. Among some nice pieces of machinery like the Mugen Type-RR, we were pleased to discover the upcoming Lancer Evolution X in its Ralliart "robe".

The new scooby is growing on me. Evo mag stated that the wrx will be coming to Europe in limited numbers. Remember Mitsi is the ONLY loss making Japenese car manufacture. Love the new X though

The new evo looks like it has been cross bred with a skyline. Love it.

I will agree with you there it's unlikely to be the "Stock" STi and converted WRX

I have to agree

THE best out of the two by far was the EVO "Concept" Car

but what you saw aint want your going to get

so a few peeps in for a big disappointment when they see it in the Flesh

Saw a Video some time ago and the EVO X and TBH looked poop

Yet the scoob looked utter Cr4p from the begining but will end up far better in the flesh IMHO
