Mostly safety regs I reckon. Plus fashion...

What a boring piece of design :/

[FnG]magnolia · 18 Nov 2010 at 20:20

Well, I hope it drives better than it looks. How utterly uninspiring.

Wow, I really like that.

Shame it has a 2 litre NA boxer and a CVT transmission, ahaha......

Basill · 18 Nov 2010 at 21:13

Looks like it should sell better with that design i would imagine.

I didn't mind the artwork of the concept but in the flesh I think that looks bulky and horrible, thankfully they are likely to tone down most of the styling anyway for any sort of road version.

Something just doesnt look right about it in those pictures...

It looks crap, they need to bring back the big spoiler saloon

This is not an Impreza WRX STi Concept. Thats why it hasnt got a big wing on the back. Infact, Subaru have dropped the Impreza name from the WRX now. It's simply 'Subaru WRX' as of the latest version..

No they havn't :confused:

the 2011 model is the Impreza WRX STi

That new one looks terrible, bland and overweight. I wont be trading my classic in just yet.

It's a concept car so they are bound to get put back in, but in those images they've been replaced by little cameras above the doors.

I can see those little camera things lasting all of a day before a **** for brains comes along and breaks them off.

looks to big cross between a mondeo and a monaro. guess they going for mass selling as the older versions were either love or hate looks.

lol at gran turismo lights

The Rear profile reminds me of the Predators face under his mask! As per link: http://zedomax.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/predator.jpg (can't rehost as I'm at work!). With the lines petruding from the brake lights, and coming up from the rear bumper.

In UK they are mostly listed as "WRX STi" now, even on Subaru website they are in their own little place (and I see no regular WRX for that matter)

The page for the STi doesn't actually mention the word "Impreza" once ... which is just stupid

PardonTheWait · 19 Nov 2010 at 13:28

It's funny lookin'

utajoker · 19 Nov 2010 at 13:35

looks better than the current effort but its missing a rather large wing

Yes i saw that, but a brand new one the dealer was showing off had the Impreza badge on boot

They are still badged as Impreza (even in the pics on Subaru website), but they try to not call them Impreza for some reason ... which is just silly, as surely having a souped up version gives more credibility to the lower models?
