f1anatic Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 looks like an improvement after all. I dislike very much the side mirrors. I hope the WRX/STI package looks more inspiring, especially in hatchback trim. Somehow the sedan is losing me. I like my Legacy GT sedan, not Impreza sedan anymore. And more pictures here of course others have already linked to them pages ago http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/20/2012-subaru-impreza/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 omg it looks like a FORD. WTF Subaru had really lost its mind ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ in PA Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Overall, it's much better than the 5th gen Legacy imo, but I still don't like it as much as my 4th gen Legacy. (I loved that design the first moment I saw it, this one is so-so.) I like that they didn't put chrome around the window frames (black trim looks better and ages better, imo). I like that the car's got a regular parking brake handle. And I'm glad to see turn signal lights in the mirrors on a couple of photos - I assume those will make the North American version in at least the upper trim levels?

katalyst Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 i like the hatch version to be honest, the photo with the gunmetal wheels makes it look pretty good. the sedan looks a bit awkward but i would consider purchasing the hatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithAkaMrak Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 i like the hatch version to be honest, the photo with the gunmetal wheels makes it look pretty good.I'm thinking those must be the wheels on the Sport trims. Would like to see them on a dark gray or black hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 it's funny cause i have that wheel on my legacy right now, it's from the "LL bean" edition outback / JDM outback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ in PA Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 So, it looks like the mirror turn signal indicators are only for the overseas version. Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithAkaMrak Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 KickingTires has a nice layout of all the features for each trim level. Sweet, it has the same 17" tire size as the 08 Legacy 17"ers. 205/50R17. (Optional on Premium, standard on Sport Premium, Limited, Sport Limited.) I could take my snows with me if I wanted... Base 2.0i drops cruise control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I like the looks much better than the "outgoing" model. "Suburu" is doing what everyone else is doing, just much later. Moving a couple models up in class and each other's place. Take Nissan in mid 2000s. The Altima grew in size to match the Maxima, and Sentra took it's place. I see the same thing here. Legacy became the Camry (sort of) and the Impreza is taking it's place. I don't care about the badge. However, I do care about the cheap interior and probably lack of options to avoid cannibalizing sales I am a very simple man. I want rear LSD at least, heated seats, aux-in, projectors with XENONs, decent power. Is that really too much to ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsquarewi Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 One commenter over at TTAC noticed that it looks like the Oil Filter is up top in the front of the engine rather than underneath. That would make DIY a lot easier. Save money on gas and oil changes. Good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatsuDano Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Not a fan of the sideview mirrors, but everything else looks ok-ish. The more I look at it, the more I'm starting to accept it as one of the herd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyniclaus Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm loving it! I hope there are significant NVH improvements similar to those made in the Legacy. This is everything I was hoping for from 5th-Gen Legacy. However, what are they thinking making a brand new model with the Nav system placed so low? It should be up where that clock is! Interesting DIVX logo and SD Card slot I am a very simple man. I want rear LSD at least, heated seats, aux-in, projectors with XENONs, decent power. Is that really too much to ask? Ah, but this will come with the WRX! Except you'll almost for sure need to step up to the STI if you want a mechanical LSD. Speaking of the performance versions, interesting comment from one of the readers of the InsideLine piece: kgford says: 02:54 PM, 04/20/2011 ...No new WRX or STI this year as the body rigidity components that are necessary for WRC racing have been dropped to reduce weight. As such i would expect that The next WRX/STI will be their own model line.... Interesting speculation, but does it even matter since Subaru withdrew from WRC in 2008?

f1anatic Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I hope everyone is reading all the threads. Cause in one of the others there's a rumor that there will not be a 2012 STI because it lost rigidity due to weight savings. I am not sure, I am just relaying info.

I do like the hatch. I thought I had seen similar wheels before on a Subaru. Now I know what they were since they're on your car. Reminds me of the newest Accord wheel as well. Or maybe it was the Civic Si... some Honda I've seen. Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

issai Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 So far, diggin' it. As long as my impression of it in RL holds to what I'm seeing online, and I fit decently inside, I think this might be my next car. I've been so close to buying a Prius or Camry Hybrid lately. But now, I'm willing to wait until fall for the '12 Impreza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
