Question So....has anyone ordered the new Impreza, or planning to?

this could well be one of those threads with zero responses, but i'm interested to know if anyone has ordered or is planning to order the new Impreza (any flavour)?

Personally I'll be sticking to my STI9 for the time being

I'm disappointed at the equipment levels of the WRX as opposed to the 'lesser' models ...... no Sat Nav. for example!!

I would if i could afford one and knew they wouldn't lose £6k within a few months.

Maybe the Spec C models etc would tempt me to sell my current one.

It would be fine till you left it in the supermarket car park, where it would instantly become lost among every other hatch in the world.

No and like some others, i probably wont be in the market to change it before the next facelift/model change anyway.

If i was in the market....................well i ordered my hawkeye without even seeing the final car or driving one but i wouldnt risk it with this one, i would have to take a good look first.

Seriously looking into the JDM Sti, which means the Sti 5 will be on the market at some point, I need one to start the R & D route again !!

I was in at my local dealers this morning, and asked if they had sold many. The answer was "no not many, but we have taken quite a few orders for the STi already".

He also told me Prodrive have sold a lot already for rally conversions.
That's the ones that have to be fitted with a roll cage and rally prep'd before they get registered.

The Classic is old and dated....the bug eye the most ugly thing ever on the road.....and subsequent face lifts somewhat better. In fact no Impreza has been beautiful.
But I like the STi Hatch style. Build quality looks a step up too. I'm sure the sti will sell well.
