2008 WRC Impreza
Love it or hate it, this is what the new WRC Impreza will look like. It may be a taste of what the STI will shape up to be. I don't really care for the widebody effect and would prefer a less 'tacked' on blistered fender. It would be nicer if the blistered fenders flowed more into the doors. That would be a lot more costly for Subaru though since they would have to manufacture STI specific doors. Otherwise, the front fascia and the rest of the car is fine. And the front grille is much nicer!

Finally, a Subaru that actually looks like a rally car.

can someone please un-pimp the tails and grille?
seriously, the car just looks like it needs the chrome slapped off of it, it's like a white kid trying to be gangster.


wish it was a 3 door...


Thanks for sharing.

Looks better...like the fender flares...hope that makes it to the STi.

Right now the new WRX hatch makes me remember my stupid 2002 Si. Looks just like it (a big egg).

Yep I like it. I'd personally crack the taillights open and black them out. But other than that... thumbs up!
