It's easily the single ugliest WRX I've ever laid eyes on.
It looks great for a Mazda 3.

I want pix of the sedan, and I want them now.
WTF is up with that Ford reject grill?

My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
...and thus the spirit of the Impreza begins to fall.

OH THANK
GOD!!!! Hopefully I've been worried for nothing.
...there does not yet exist official pics of the 2008 Subaru Impreza in the wild.
Most recent '08 Impreza shots are photoshops.

Code: Select all
Engines carry over with emission and fuel economy improvements. The WRX’s turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four packs the same 224 hp and 226 lb-ft of torque, but peak horsepower now comes at 5200 rpm instead of 5600, and peak torque arrives at 2800 rpm, down from 3600. The base Impreza’s 2.5-liter boxer four drops 3 hp to 170, but torque jumps to 170 lb-ft from 166.
Handling enhancements come courtesy of a lower center of gravity as a result of a lower engine mounting point, stiffer chassis and new optional vehicle dynamics control.
Inside, occupants enjoy more front shoulder room, headroom, rear legroom, new standard side-curtain airbags and higher-grade materials. An optional navigation system is available for the first time.
At least the go fast bits seem to be improving... let's hope that wasn't b/c of increased weight though...

I thought that the sedan was going to have flared fenders?
maybe that's the 2.5RS?

That is definitely an understatement. I would laugh so hard if this was just a scare tactic by SOA to sell up all the leftover '06/'07's...SOA will actually unveil a new Kick@$$ design a week before release.
