Thread title fixed. Thanks Evan!

Jard · 04-05-2007, 10:19 AM

I'm still not digging the front grill, but the rest of the car looks good.

I25 · 04-05-2007, 10:20 AM

Sorry for the few photos, i just wanted you guys to see it first. The official reveal that is. Enjoy them and spread the word! I will have a ton more after it calms down in there!

Rice & Gravy · 04-05-2007, 10:21 AM

Not as bad as I was thinking. Awaiting up close on the wagon. Lowered a tad, aftermarket wheels and a new grill and it would be much better.

Jard · 04-05-2007, 10:22 AM

I'm so happy it doesn't have the same tails that were in the magazine. I hated those tails. The rear end of this thing looks like a Legacy GT crossed with a last-gen Mustang.

It's not bad.

That is the Sedan. The Hatch is identical to the MT article.

I25 · 04-05-2007, 10:27 AM

I like it somewhat

ButtDyno · 04-05-2007, 10:30 AM

From the News and Rumors thread:

"In conjunction with the new chassis, the Subaru Impreza and WRX feature an all-new doublewishbone rear suspension. "

Neat.

I25 · 04-05-2007, 10:34 AM

Rice & Gravy · 04-05-2007, 10:36 AM

I have not looked at specs yet or seen the inside of course, but the trunk space looks much bigger now.

Yeah, saw that and got a little jealous.

The front's growing on me. I still don't like the taillights or the yaaawn side profile.

Thanks a lot Evan! I'm refreshing like a champ over here

EDIT: Oh, and those wheels are horrid.

zavier · 04-05-2007, 10:37 AM

see that's the problem...it looks to much like a legacy to be an impreza...it should still have the boxy fenders...i think really that is all (+ the stupid grill) that needs to be fixed

subyrally · 04-05-2007, 10:49 AM

kinda reminds me of the focus sedan. i really dont like it, the impreza has always kept the same basic design and body lines since 93, you can look at the 06 next to a 93 and tell that they are basically the same car, just a few facelifts but still the same critter. the new impreza looks not quite right.

Homemade WRX · 04-05-2007, 10:50 AM

isn't this car (not calling it an impreza) suppose to be on the same chassis as the legacy now?...I know that had been the rumor for a good 2 years...

zavier · 04-05-2007, 10:54 AM

then that means subaru now has almost every car in their fleet based off the legacy chassis lol gg

Gmd · 04-05-2007, 10:54 AM

Still hate it, it is going to grow on me like a tumor.

Evil Dr. Scoob · 04-05-2007, 10:56 AM

First look at side-on view and I'm thinking Lexus. Looks good. I like the longer windows.

But of course, I bought the Legacy.

zavier · 04-05-2007, 10:59 AM

aren't the windows now framed in? if so why the change?

Rice & Gravy · 04-05-2007, 11:02 AM

If they improved nothing else I hope the road/cabin noise is better!

Okay great. I still hate those tails and I'm glad they aren't on the sedan.

zavier · 04-05-2007, 11:25 AM

glad to see on subaru's site there is almost no information about this...the countdown ended and there is like 4 things new...rear suspension, optional automatic, 3 new colors, lower torque band...with such a change in the body i was hoping for something...more i guess

impreza_punk · 04-05-2007, 11:56 AM

I hate it ..I've been yelling about it on the official thread, so why not yell about it in this one. I hate the rear end of the sedan, I hate the whole look of the new car. I also hate the dual exhaust. They should just call it a legacy junior!

Car vs. Driver · 04-05-2007, 12:14 PM

Actually, it's not too bad IMHO. At least not as bad as I expected it would be - I'm very interested to see the interior though.
