Talking New Impreza / Model 2012

Subaru to Debut All-New 2012 Impreza at New York International Auto Show.
Looks totally different from Concept Model. I don't like it.

I post some of the new photos of new base impreza 4dr and 5dr.

4dr looks little better but I don't like 5doors tail light.

Also link below shows the XV concept picture from Auto show in China.
Subaru Japan is selling Impreza XV and this might be the concept for 2012 outback sports.

Like what's said in the other 2012 Impreza thread. That's just the base model, no hood scoop. I bet the WRX, STi will look way more aggressive.

Thanks for comments.
I think 2012 WRX/STI will not get much changes too. I heard that new FB25 engine need time to develope for turbo. I just disappointed that new impreza totally looks different from concept model. Well, concept is "just concept" as always.

It's official, last generation was a warning (2011 WRX/STI notwithstanding of course, I own one after all haha), the Impreza has officially been corolla-zied.

Let's just hope the WRX/STI is an improvement. After all, since when has most of us here on iClub cared about the base Impreza anyway?

*edit* as always I have backtracked from this view. Check my post on the second page.

Yeah that's the base one...don't forget, Subaru just dropped a STi Sedan on us as well as a more aggressively styled WRX sedan. I don't think they'll go back to super-bland styling so quickly after the positive reception both of those updates have received.

Wow, the bodylines are all weird. Reminds me of the suzuki kizashi. Last gen was better. I never liked that little cutout window by the mirror. WTF subaru, hiring suzuki designers to make a kia?
