it got some aggressiveness in the front back. and the molded trunk lip is a nice touch.

I sure as hell do miss box flares though.

They just can't seem to get it right!

the 09-11 Imprezas looked as if they spent too much time on the front end and forgot to design the backside. On this one the backside shows some promise (although the tail lights are still **** and look cheap) but the front end is all bad (headlights also look cheap and boring).

giving it another look, this reminds me of a newer version of the toyota Echo.

^^^ badass? No, as much as I LOVE my 07 wrx after that was worse then worse then slightly better now garbage! The Sti is weak and Subaru does not seem to care that the Wrx that came to US shores in 2001 has turned into a cheap shell of what once was

That's because the grocery-getter market is larger than the motorsports enthusiast market.

^^^ sadly you are correct, if Subaru wants to go the "grocery getter" route then offer the impreza as a hybrid.

Change the rear tail lights, keep the rear molded trunk lip, get a dam good designer for the front end and get the box flares back. I'm sick of the dam front end on this one and it hasn't even been released. Subaru, come on!

Yeah, totally looks like **** man, way too similar to the Legacy imho. They really need to fire their current design team and start from scratch cuz the crap they're pumping out from 08 on has been horrible. Impreza don't have any rally dna anymore, even an STi version would look hella whack in this new form. I'm afraid Subaru has moved on from making badass rally road cars, it's time to face the ugly truth. It sure was good while it lasted though (04-07), the proper STi years that at least had some WRC influence. 06 forever baby!
