LOL

[blackshine007]

I actually like that thing. I thought in some form or fashion the WRX will grow on me. That one helped. Have some rep kind sir

[VooDooXII]

That actually looks pretty good.

I think that chrome bit above the grille messes it up. Fix those tail-lights and I think I'll have my mind changed about the new Imprezas.

[The Yousef]

wow...that actually looks rather good...but stock it makes me want to climb a clock tower with an AR15 though

[VooDooXII]

I've decided that I like the 5-door much better...the sedan looks too tall and awkward.

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

thats hot..

[GSRteg®]

lol :screwy:

[Magnus213]

Change the front bumper so it doesn't look like it's smiling at you so much, and I think you've got a handsome car.

You're the guy SOA is marketing to then. Every year, despite the enthusiasts bitching about the new looks, WRXs sell more and more. The 02s are really the only true enthusiast WRXs, STis will always be an enthusiast car but the WRXs went too upscale. Who needs leather, sunroofs, and auto-AC in a sports car? I like my car for what it is, an extremely fun to drive, very fast (with mods), econobox.

08s with some mods look good but its still a weak platform, I cant wait to see what they do with the new STI.

I'm really wondering what it will take to hack that diffuser up and rig it to my stock bumper. Time to go back on a hunt for 06 taillights and an 04+ rear wagon bumper to put that diffuser on for a new rearend look.

[VooDooXII]

Like I said...needs better tail-lights. I don't think those wheels go too well on the blue one.

[Marta Mike]

just looks goofy to me. Doesnt look like a subaru. And that front end. Dear God..........HIDEOUS

[Sol-Badguy]

Wow, that Focus actually looks nice. :goodjob:

[Nemesis]

People dont buy Subarus for looks.

[b@d @pple]

People dont buy Subarus for looks.

most people dont buy them for getting groceries or reliabilty

[cactusEG]

are those factory rims ??

[Nemesis]

Im confused by your statement. Are you implying they really buy them for the above stated purposes or did you mean do instead of dont.

[b@d @pple]

no i was saying aside from being made fast they are useless..much like my previous car srt4..but its ok i want an sti

[Dirty Octopus™]

i love the way the new Mazda Protoges look! :yes:

[The Ren]

The rear isnt so bad.. but im not a huge fan

[GTScoob]

Dunno man, I dont know how many times I've loaded up the back of the wagon with kegs, chairs, a loveseat, mattresses, piles of car parts, etc. Big proponent of the wagon versus sedan for these reasons.

[JITB]

so they finally come with sunroofs now?

[Deke]

so they finally come with sunroofs now?

It's been an option since the '04 model.



As for the new model, I'm definitely not a fan. That being said, I'm sure it will grow on me some (the last one definitely did), but I still think they've done a disservice to the Impreza name. Also, one of the magazines (don't remember which) did a review on the car and said it handles for shit. There is not even a RSB and there is no means for mounting one.

[JITB]

is it a option in the sti?

[Deke]

is it a option in the sti?

I believe it was only available on the STi limited (not 100%). It's been an option on the WRX since 2004.

[Nemesis]

You can always get the stick on sunroof.

[Hundo®]

LIRL...

True, and there aren't that many affordable wagons on the market anymore.

[osnap]

reminds me of the EP3 in that I want to like it, but i just cant make myself like it. know what i mean? its just too.... happy.

[vubuilt]

very nice

[atlxpat]

lol its been growing on me exactly like the 06/07's did
but meh the rear end stock wise isnt so great, the chrome center piece and altezza-ish tails. but i want that hood for my car...

[VooDooXII]

Fuckin emo...

:lmfao:

[ThAixGuYx2k7]

Fuckin emo...

:lmfao:

^ lol!!

I still like the 02s the best. This one however will probably grow on me like you guys are saying.

[VooDooXII]

I couldn't stand them when I saw them first. The wheels, color, and the lack of that chrome piece on top of the grille makes it much better though.

Still not a fan of the back end but hey...

arent the still owned by ford?

[burke420]

clean car.. but the sedan were better!

[Jecht]

It looks like they combined a Focus, one of those Mazda hatchbacks, and a 2007 WRX. :lmao:

That thing is ugly.

[The Green Monster]

lmao...i really thought it was a focus at first



Nice subie!!!

[santacruz77]

gay its looks like a mzada 3

[Deke]

No, I don't believe they were ever owned by ford, or any other American company for that matter. GM owns a small percentage (hence the saabaru), that's it.

[Fast Shadow]

I like it because I like hatchbacks. Looks good to me.

[On_Her_Face]

just imo sti/wrx keeps getting worse with each body change

[VooDooXII]

No, I don't believe they were ever owned by ford, or any other American company for that matter. GM owns a small percentage (hence the saabaru), that's it.

GM held 20% of its shares until 2005.
