I have to agree with all the previous comments made on the ’08 Impreza designs, hatch / sedan. Really wasn’t impressed when Australia only received the hatch.

However, the only reason I would stop buying the Subaru is if it had another ‘Brands’ engine under the bonnet, i.e. Toyota, Daiwoo, etc.

Yes the designs are ugly and look wrong, but everyone has a year (or 2 it seems) of bad decisions / designs (I’m sure, just like the Coke-a-Cola add for the new Mother, the designers have now been k-o’d).

At least the engine is still good! I’m still a fan and a loyal buyer, as is my family – we are a Subaru family, all of us – myself (Liberty ’03), mum (Impreza ’06) and brother (Liberty ’98).

Subary, just don’t loose the engine value, we can get over your looks!!

Lol new WRX is by far the best… previous ones to me are hideous. I agree though they are over-priced, hell all cars in Australia are, in the U.S a WRX is like $30k yet one of simialar spec in Aus is $45k

the 2008 wrx is hideous. I saw it in person it sucks and is over priced. the 2002-2005 are by far the best looking. I drive a 2006 wrx because I got a great deal on it and wanted the 2.5 L, but I wish it looked like an 05. i wanted to buy a new sti but i guess i will have to look for 2005 wrx sti’s, but i’m starting to wonder if subaru deserves my money for f*cking up such a good car.

If they’re dropping the WRX name.. can they also drop the Impreza name as the 08 model doesn’t deserve to wear the same name as the previous Imprezas – not just the WRX.

The previous models had aggressive styling which made them look like a performance car.. Whereas this looks like a wannabe. A Corolla x Daewoo with a tacky after-market bodykit

If Subaru’s plan was to create a sterile looking car well, my congratulations! Who come up with the atrociously cheap chromy grid?
Did you (Subaru) hired Kia’s, Hyundai’s or Daewoo’s designers? Looks like all of them (and couple of others) had their share creating this… It looks like Picasso’s Guernica (there is everything and all together it doesn’t make sense)

If you wanted to kill Impreza, why are you still using the name?

Impreza, model 1999 and 2006, was the best you had. This (together with 2002 model) is the worse you can offer.

A fan of Impreza with charisma.

The new WRX isnt that bad… these early released photos where shyte, which is strange youd think theyd want the best pics released. Eitherway in the metal it looks decent, less aggressive then… but better looking then the older ones as far as Im concerned.
