Im not crazy about the hatchback design but I am fascinated by the fact that they made all of those little modifications such as putting the fuel tank uner the seats to improve the handling. Loving the car.

I am not to keen on the new hatch or sedan. I think Subaru toned down the last of the aggressive lines that the WRX had... If they made a two door hatch version of this with a little more fender flare it could look worlds better.

Performance wise I've heard good things, but I just can't get over how they look...

That's where ECU tuning comes into play ;)

Anyway, I never really liked the look of the new Impreza, but this has surely changed it. I've been a fan of the Mazda Protege5 for a while, but this thing is the faster, non-FWD version! My only quirk with Subaru's new design is the tail lights. For one, it looks rather 'baggy', like not sleeping for 2 days and having those lines under your eyes, and the Altezza-riceyness... For sure if I were to get one of these, I'd tint those things red!

I like the H&R coilovers with 2-stage springs, they look great! Must handle like a monster too!

I like the new STi, gives enough of a in-your-face look. But the stand alone WRX is a sad looking egg to me.

But, can't argue with the performance.

i agree sur they need to make some 2 door verisons and the aggressive look has gone down the drain

Still my favorite, the coupe...

Quick photoshop of hatch coupe.

I shortened it a smidgen, beefed up the rear fenders, made it two door, yellow racing lights and gave it the classic gold Sube wheels. That I would buy...
