CUSCO Debutes Their MY06-spec Super GT Impreza

CUSCO became the first motorsports team to facelift their Impreza to the new front end. The looks extremely agressive and I think it will make us all rethink how we feel about the new redesigned Impreza.

CUSCO team finished 11th in the class in Round 4 that took place this past weekend at Sugo.

NoOoo! What have they done? I liked it better before they changed the grill. The front looks like an Altezza now...

How could any of us say it looks bad in real life? Have you guys seen them on the road? Not trying to start sh*t. Just saying that we can't really judge it until it's here in the "flesh". Hell, the bugeye look is/was ugly as sin but people still scooped them up

Ok.
Forget the grill.
Where is new and improved engine and such?
This is the third time they changed the outside and left the inside along, exept maybe different lug pattern on '05 STI.
I want more power out of the box and better fuel economy, otherwise i'm sticking to my '03
Here, I said it....

That's called "minor change" in JDM terms. Subaru product life cycle is 6 years or so, so next model will be a new car.

O, yeah, about the front end....NEEHHH.
It maybe looks good on it's own, but IMO it doesn't go with the rest of the car which is pretty much the same. I don't see it as an improvement, it's just oddly different..
