Thanks for the link. Clicking on the pic in the story leads to a thumbnail page with 90 high-res photos of the 2008 Impreza at the New York Auto Show, the best and most detailed pics I've seen yet!

The new suspension also delivers improved ride refinement, decreased road noise, and a quieter cabin.

Low end torque and fuel efficiency was improved through the addition of a new intake manifold, intercooler and turbocharger.

It's sad to say that i didn't even take one shot of the 08 Impreza WRX at the NYC Auto show (better yet, i couldn't get a good shot), they fenced it off with these annoying black ropes that were about 2 inches away from the car. For some reason, walking to the Subaru exhibit generated a sense of boredom IMO.

Situation went like this, arrived at NYC Autoshow at the Javis Center by 7 pm Friday, checked out the exhibit on the main floor 1st ( Chevy, Dodge, Acura, Toyota [ FT-HS Concept = HOT], Lexus [ IS-F = "*** in pants" hot], etc...). Then preceeded to check out the bottom floor (Aka Subaru, VW, Truck section, etc...). I took one look at the Subaru Impreza and Impreza WRX, eyed the ugly looking hatchback and stared at the open framed (OMFG...no more sashless doors) doors....was about to puke in disgust...but just then....a yellow VW GTI caught my eyes....proceeded to check out VW section and OMG, VW R32 saved my appetite.....
