They've actually grown on me quite a lot since first being released. That car up there looks pretty good, if you ask me.
Am scared....

frankly i hate the new impreza looks.
06-07 models were by far my favorite.

In this case my understanding is that Subaru went for a hatch format to make the car better able to compete in rallies. Then, ironically, they dropped out of rallies.
I've not driven one, but I've looked over one one. The biggest issue I find is that having gone to all the trouble of making it a hatch, it has half the room in the back as the saloon before. I'll probably get one at some point, but they're way out of my price range ATM.

Whereas I don't think its a pretty car, I don't think its as bad as people make out. It does definitely look better in the flesh.
Saying that, I've only seen one in the wild. Just one.
Makes you wonder exactly how many they've sold.
I'd love to drive one but I fear i'd spend more time mincing about with the DCCD fingy than driving it.
God this makes me sound almost like I like a Subaru. I'm off to scrub myself clean with a wire brush before the MLR regulars find out.

Why would you want one, it looks like arse
I love the classic Impreza looks, and the Hawkeye and Blobeye GDs, but the new one looks like a run off the mill KIA, like something your granny would drive rather than the raw yet refined look of the Hawkeye (probably the best Subaru design ever)
It is a truely disgusting car, evo 10 is stunning. go for that
Evo 10 is stunning? Stunningly purposeful, yes. In the same way that it is stunningly ugly. If it needs a pram-handle on the back, then it hasn't been designed properly.
Neither car is what I would describe as good-looking... but the Impreza is probably easier to park.
I just thik the sedan looks so much better, really just much, much, much better. I've hosted these images so I don't get slapped for direct linking again.
Would be interesting to see it with a "pram handle" on the back.
I agree. I wouldn't want a hatchback impreza sti... The saloon however.
I think that saloon looks ugly as hell from the rear.
I have no preference to either hatch or saloon generally speaking tbh.

Really? I thought it looked like someone bought a Vauxhall and spent £300 at Ripspeed
Comedy genius.
It's awful though, seriously. There's some elements to the styling I really like, undone by the predominance of plastic tat and as above, ripspeed reminiscence.

All scoobs are ugly.
But the new-style saloon version makes even the Bugeye embarrassed to be the same make.
