The "unofficial" leaked Motor Trend 2008 Impreza pics

Well, the car is ugly with that grill. The rear lights would have been cool a few years back, but now they're just tacky.

 

Go to NASIOC.com and look at the photochops they've done. I think the car looks pretty good with a few exterior changes. In a model year or two, I think they'll be looking a lot better.

The first one is more my style, but it's still not enough IMO. I think they should change the spoiler on that first one. It looks good, but that Evo X has good enough looks and you know it's performance will be sick.

 

Also, the hatch looks good, except put the subaru winged emblem in the middle of the grill like in some of the other designs.

That top one is pretty cool. Anything that low wouldn't be capable of driving to work around here.. I would lose the bumper in the parking lot somewhere.. On a positive note I could plow my driveway with the nose of that car. :lol:

 

I like the grill style. They should move the symbol and trim down on the production versions like the Legacys and the above pic as it looks way better. The other versions remind me of Mazda Protege fronts or something.

Those chops are nice but they still don't take into consideration that the bumper/front spoiler does not integrate well at all with the grille or headlights. That is my main problem with the actual model, aside from the hideous grille.

Off the hate train...onto the has potential train.

 

I am a little more upbeat about it this week...white is where it is at. This is a little low for my roads and weather. I hope they do fender flares and such from the factory for the Sti and maybe an option group for the WRX?

 

There is another shot of the hatchback w/the sedan tail lights and it looks 1000% better.

I still think the back looks like a kia (with slightly smaller tail lights). It's just outrageous and hideous.

What does a Subaru look like? I don't think anyone has ever called my Legacy a Subaru. In fact, the only person who even acknowledged my car as what it really is was the driver of a highly modified WRX. I've seen pictures of half a dozen cars on here that look like the Legacy in one way or another.

 

I am not a fan of hatchbacks despite their versatility. I would rather have full blown wagon or sedan (or a hatchback that looks like a sedan). It's really unfortunate they will only be offering the WRX STi as a hatch. I don't know why Subaru is marketing a European design in the US. I am not European and I don't want a bloody hot hatch! Please god Subaru, why don't you listen to us about the Legacy STi? Why are you pussyfooting around with this SpecB sh*t? Give us what we want.

 

I will be patiently waiting for the redesigned Legacy. Maybe with some Toyota goodies and STi power/handling (please SOA, PLEASE)!

Because it's been said waaaaaay too many times. ;):lol:

 

In all honesty, that's what everyone seems to think due to the fact that other versions in other countries are said to be a hatch, see here in the FAQ.

how do you know the STI will only be a hatch?

The STI will be available globally only as a five-door hatchback when it goes on sale next year, just as a new Prodrive Impreza hatchback battles the all-new Ralliart Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X in the World Rally Championship arena.

ya, at best it'll wind up liek the bugeye, run for a year, maybe 2, then get changed to appease the masses, then couple years later change again... and by then everyone will wish they stayed with this design.
