Subaru Impreza R limited edition

By Alborz Fallah |

Following last week’s announcement of the Mitsubishi Lancer ACTiV, direct rival Subaru has today announced their own limited edition to go head to head with the Lancer. The Subaru Impreza R will now come with leather trim.

The leather packed Impreza R is a proper limited edition with only 1,000 headed to Australia (arriving in April). The choices will include five-speed manual or four-speed automatic available in both sedan and hatch body-types.

The standard Subaru Impreza R will drop in price by $1,000, making it $23,990. The leather equipped models attract a premium of just $500, retailing for $24,490 for the manual.

    Oooohhh, Leather. This really makes me want to go out and buy a Limited Edition Impreza……I’m sure Mitsubishi Aust. won’t lose sleep over this. Grow up Subaru Aust. and offer prospective buyers some real attraction to wanting to buy a Limited Edition Subaru.

    Forester is due for a big update late 2010, It shares floorpan with Impreza so I presume that Impreza will be updated as well.

    Probably
    -CVT
    -Better dash
    -Improved styling ??

    Impreza sure does needs it…

      Source of your information ?

      Subaru normally follow 6 year platform cycle and 3 year refresh. Surely it has been less than 3 years since release of toyota molded subarus!

      • davie

        heaps of info on the web regarding Foresters my11 updates, due Mid-late 2010

        I did however take a punt that they would also update the Impreza as they have so much shared componentry.
