looks like a CUV from the rear.. wtf?

[iconicrocket]

Hmm... Looks like it's PhotoChopped from a couple of spy shots. I'm guessing that some of the sources are from these pics:

[cwp_sedan]

Yeah not feeling that. Definitely looks like a Focus...

[TheProfessor]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[Caz]

Is the STI gogin to be a hatchback?

[PlatMS6]

Subaru is rumoured to be working with Mazda and will be borrowing its Mazda3 Sport platform for the new design.

HEH jks...the first pic makes it look like a bastard child from a Mazda3 Sport + Protege5...whats with the picnic table on the back?

[majic]

sigh.. only if bmw knew better.. those 1 series better come here as hatches!!!



shhhhhhhh.. i don't want to hear iT!

[3GFX]

ewwwww, no

[chinsterr]

o man, subie just butchered their flagship car.

[Zaku_4]

lol

the back looks like a tribeca, the front looks like a sebring (ewwwwwwww).

hell even the interior is modelled after the tribeca.

gawd subaru. will they ever make a car that appeals to me?

[3GFX]

I was worried about the last redesign of the Impreza front then it grew on me and now I like it. This will NEVER grow on me.

[Nextmod]

ya looks like a ford

[stas]

i think it looks like a daewoo, especially the side from an angle

[-RJ3-]

Subarus rep might get ruined if they keep the first pic...The second pic... "Mazda based"... Not feeling it... It looks toned down... The lancer still kept its bulging fenders, and the Impreza should keep it that way...

Interior... Are you 5hitting me? thats uuuugly

[CoolColombian]

I think they are trying to make competitors for the MS3.

Obviously the Sti might be faster but the MS3 price range make it a better option with just +/- 30 HP less than the Sti.

[TheProfessor]

Except that the STi is AWD, which IMO is way better than FWD.

[PlatMS6]

Mazda should seriously offer the MS3 with AWD... thats pretty much the major reason I went with the MS6

They should offer a 2007.5 MS3 ~Sedan~ AWD.....heheh

[iconicrocket]

Don't like the pregnant guppy look too. lol

[mazidane]

AWD might just push the price os an MS3 in to the $40K region, not sure how many they will sell, but it would definitely be nice to have, I believe then have it in Europe.

UMMM no it won't...base MS6...36k, currently the MS3 is OVERPRICED for what you get relative to the rest of the ZOOM ZOOM family

[BLKOUT]

i think it looks nice!

[chinsterr]

i think it looks nice!

*SHOCKED*

[iconicrocket]

i think it looks nice!

What are you smoking? I think we have another drug user on board.

[Xenon]

why does the third pic look freakishly like a mazda3?

First there is a Saabaru (talking about the 93x), Now a Mazdaru?

But... nevertheless, I have to admit... I kinda like it, from all angles but the back:

Looks like Subaru is going to lose market shares next year. More pics of the real thing:

Funny part is, the only thing I like is possibly the back.

[-RJ3-]

For looks man, I settle for a Dodge Srt4... at least it looks muscle than this. I hope its powerplant backs up the look of this car.

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Now a Mazdaru?



:chuckle

[mit-gee-mui]

Pokearoo!:loco

The front grill reminds me of a Chrysler Sebring:

http://evenements.caradisiac.com/salon-paris/IMG/jpg/chrysler_sebring_1-2.jpg

[billyfo]

interior looks nicer than this gen.

so front is Sebring, side looks like Corolla, hatch rear is Focus, what next?

[Unoriginalusername]

i like it

[esi]

If it was like this, I wouldn't complain:

http://images.motortrend.com/future/future_vehicles/112_0703_02z+2008_subaru_impreza_wrx_sti+front.jpg

It might look have decent when you take the grill out.

[miggiddy]

Sorry but it reminds me of Mazda 3 sport

[mazidane]

Holy Crap is the rear of that Sedan ridiculously ugly or what? The Front too! They have actually managed to butcher the look of it!

[iconicrocket]

That engine bay looks rammed. I hope it's easy to change the light bulbs.

[3GFX]

For those of you that invested in Subaru, here's a tip...

...PULL OUT NOW!!!

[Unoriginalusername]

looks like the sentra spec-v

[iconicrocket]

I would take this over the Aztek thou. The Aztek has gotta be the ugliest car of all time.

[billyfo]

[TheFastLane]

is that new impreza design pretty much confirmed??

[esi]

Yep. Not the STi though.

[Unoriginalusername]

Yep. Not the STi though.

Well i am sure it is confirmed, we just haven't seen it yet... frankfurt this fall i believe

[Wild Weasel]

I think the back of that sedan looks WAY better than the back of the wagon on the first page here.

x2 the tail lights on the hatch need some work

[TheFastLane]

looks like they're targeting more family oriented

[Unoriginalusername]

looks like they're targeting more family oriented

subby has had a hard on for the golf and jetta for years... clearly their new design direction looks more targeted towards that group

[maumau]
