Top Gear article on new Impreza


Scotty

Recommended Posts

those are the first pics of the sedan that I've seen.

 

Even worse than the hatchback . Gross!

 

The problem with the looks are the very skinny tires. The new Imprezza has 205 /50 tires. They do not fill the wheel wells at all. Look how much gap there is between the tire and the fender. I would say a 225 series tire would clean that up a bit. What is the wheel size (please don't be 17x6.5).

Found this interesting,

 

"However, Subaru has announced that the WRX version won't come to the UK either. Instead, we'll get a wider range of cheap models and - mercifully - a 300bhp STi version to keep the back-road racers happy and the insurer underwriters less so."

 

So no WRX for the UK, first they get screwed with only being able to buy an ugly hatch (don't get me wrong I have nothing against hatches, just ugly ones). And second now they can't even get a WRX. Its NA Impreza or STI.

Funny that when the impreza was given the pig nose, many people hated it, but before long, it's a popular look.

 

Hopefully the same can be said of the new impreza. It's kinda bland, Subaru is likely looking for a broader appeal.

I am an owner of a 02 BugEye.

I bought it for the sheer performance reason. I thought it was really ugly but unique.

 

04-05 rolled in and I was like WTF. UGLY. Then the 06-07. even uglier.

Over the years I have seen people to grow into things they thought otherwise.

 

I really think that will be the case with this model as well.

 

If you ask me, My BugEye is the prettiest and best looking one. This is coming out of the guy that thought of the 02 as what an uglu Fawk....

 

:lol:

Sadly, I never grew to love the Bugeye. The 04-05 was bland, but at least it wasn't ugly. The 06-07 looks downright mean. I like them more every time I seem them. The 08s just look terrible. I dont know what to do! I loved the Imprezas... I guess I'll have to see it in person before I decide. They're at the NY Auto Show right? I'm thinking about going just to see one.

You mean, that you don't like this look? I guess, everyone has a different taste....

From an aesthetics aspect the design is very confused. The lines up front are all over he place. From the side it has a definite clown-shoe thing happening.

 

While evocative of the MS3, it is only because they are both five door hatches. The MS3 looks like a Mazda. It has an identity. This thing has amnesia.

 

The interior is fine. I'm not expecting refinement.

Actually, This car is not mine. But mine will look very similar to it pretty shortly.

I have decided to keep mine after seeing the new stuff. I used to be pretty modded but went back to stock to sell it and get a new 08. :(

 

Well, now that it's not going to be Sold. It's gonna look pretty Badd A$$.

I love the bugeyes with the STi headlights and grill. Kind of sucks that Subaru keeps relying on people to grow into liking the Impreza designs. Would be a lot easier if they just designed a car that impressed from the beginning. Like the Legacy GT.
