WTF's up with the owner parking a foot and a half away from the curb...Fking inconsiderate of his passenger side door panels ding free appearance.

if you park more than 4 inches from a curb...especially on your drivers side (where you can park closer to stuff) you should have your car taken away child abuse style

 

i think they will look better in person. and i guess you will have to wait awhile till you can start moding the 08s. the exhaust is on the right side now, so wont have any exhaust for it till later on.

 

Interesting place for the boost gauge - at least I think that's what it is on the dash. The grille is definitely better - it is finally "less ugly" but not really thinking good yet. Still need to see one in person. Those lights need to be darkened, maybe just tinted charcoal as long as the red can still get through (like the old Maxima tails on the SE's).

 

looks like the bastard child of a Legacy & Toyota Matrix.

i've always liked hatchbacks (2 dr ones), but I'm not digging that thing too much.

 

yeah theyre trying to do a euro rally hatch, but that only works with 2 doors

its too long, and wouldnt look good sliding around a gravel corner, i think i would chuckle a bit.

 

I always think its funny to hear people compare the new Impreza negatively to the Mazda 3(oh noes, anything but a mazda!). If you haven't noticed, the Mazda 3 looks already looks WAY better than the 06-07 impreza, if the 08s look anything closer to the 3 its already an improvement. No offense to the Mazda 3.

 

+1000

just because most of you guys are numb to the ugly 06/07 doesn't mean everyone is... the 06/07 is the ugliest car.. i would take the look of the corolla over it..

if you don't agree with my opinion then you're wrong...

 

06/07 looks like the Suzuki front end. not sure the model name.

 

^^haha i know exactly what you're talking about dude.. and whats funny is these 06/07 owners make fun of this 08 for looking like a mazda.. sorry but mazda is a much more respectable name in cars than suzuki.. and for you bugeye owners who hate on the 08.. guess what.. your car resembles a neon.. and for us 04/05 owners.. you're in God's perfect vision

 

if you dont like the 06 07 then i dont think its possible to like the 08:
scoop looks like its sleeve of wizard,stretched gaping whole eww.....not subaru at all
foglights are weak...not subaru at all
no tear drop extrusions behind foglights...not subaru at all
front bumper (FMIC inlet) is wide and short, instead of more rectangular...
altezza rear tails....sooooooo EVO

and for you poor '99 owners, your cars are the HAWTEST! especially if they have two doors

i like the 05 06 the most...then 06 07...then 08...downhill

yeah mazdaspeed 3s are cool, other than the FWD and nose bulge hood, its just weird how much they look alike

the suzuki you guys were talking about is the Aerio SX i think.

 

Doesnt this look like the 08 impreza

 

ummmm... i would rather spend 1k over msrp for an 08 than spend 2k under invoice on an 06/07 .. i wouldn't be caught dead with an 06/07..

i will admit this 08 is not perfect but with some work it will look damn good...

and actually when you said altezza rear tails soooo evo.. wouldn't they actually be sooooo altezza?

 

no i think that actually looks more like a 4 door honda civic hatch

 

IBbugeye4life but like I said from the beginning, I think the 08 is gonna be hot sex once we A) get the STi version and B) the aftermarket gets a hold of it.

 

i like it!
