What a shame.

Oh well, it seems they've managed to destroy everything that made the WRX what it was. Hopefully they go way over the top with the STI to save face.

I don't see the reason why Subaru needs to water down the WRX. If you don't want to get a WRX, there's the 2.5i (RS).

yea I saw it for the first time at my work today and man...is that thing fugly and it's slower than the 07's. I think I'll keep my 04 wrx that does 0-60 in 4.6 seconds(stage 2)...not 5.9

Well hopefully sales suffer so that they change the whole design again, but more than likely that will not happen

Here's a idea...

Dear Subaru,

I know that the American branch is not responsible for the design and engineering of its model line up, but as a current Impreza owner, I want to express my distaste of the new "2008" Impreza.

You can call it what you will but it no longer looks like what I consider an Impreza. I had intended to purchase an STI next summer. However, I am not satisfied with the direction you have chosen to take in terms of aesthetics. I know my opinion is not the only one that feels this way.

Thank you.

Or snail mail

As the original owner of a 99' Impreza OBS, the Impreza lost it's identity starting with the "New Age" Impreza (2002 MY for the newbies )
