New info on the 2012 Impreza

http://www.insideline.com/subaru/imp...irst-look.html

I'm impressed that Subaru was able to increase fuel economy and drop 160lbs from the car, but why is it SO UGLY?!

But eventually, the WRX and STI will be based on the new Impreza styling.

^ That would be until 2011, but even the 2011 WRX and STI share some styling cues with the base Impreza, including the 2008-2010 STI. When Subaru comes out with the WRX and STI, the new Impreza's style, at least part of it, will carry over to the new WRX and STI. They're going to have an interesting base to work with, to say the least.

Damn, looking back at the bugeye, the 2012 impreza sure does look fat and ugly...

It does resemble the Honda Accord though.

I remember reading rumors that the WRX and STi are going to be separated from the Impreza line. Sorta like how the Outback is now it's own line when it used to be a Legacy trim level. I think that is what Anthony is trying to say.

Now Subaru will have a true econobox as opposed to a watered down sportster.
