To achieve this figure, they apparently had to make the car look as much like a bland version of the Mazda3 as possible. Or is it a Nissan Altima? Accord? We don't know, it now looks just like the rest of them.
Both four-door and five-door models will appear this month at the New York Auto Show, but so far all they've shown us is the profile of the sedan. Not a good sign. It's like when a girl on OKCupid only shows you her eyes, you know it means you don't want to see the rest.
The plain-jane Subaru will likely feature a small boxer four, as in the past, putting out somewhere around 150 horsepower. Details are scarce, both in the press release and in the design of the car.

So long as it doesn't look like a penis, you just described the perfect commuter car.
I suspect it will have the CVT, which gets much praise from the automotive press.
I'm not going to dump on it until I see it in person.
I didn't like the current version of the Legacy at first, but it has grown on me after I've seen and sat in a few.
Wow. Clarkson was right. The era of actually have FUN, of all things, behind the wheel of car is almost over. With gas going up so high and eco-hippies creating a demand for... THINGS... like this. The days of sports cars and hot rods are coming to a close.
I miss quirky Suby's 36MPG with AWD is DAMN impressive though from a gas engine!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

I really hope not

Um.... Maybe it's just too early (I mean, it is only 9:25AM)... Where is the diff? Maybe it's just higher in this model... but those look like bolts in the back where the damn diff should be!!!!! FWD = 36MPG Suby easy

Got to be the new Spy Hunter car! Get a look at the smoke screen generator/oil slick tips under the license plate area!
Now, where are those durned missiles?

Wow you guys are a judgmental bunch. To me it doesn't look that much different than the outgoing car, or the one before that...or the one before that. Even the coveted 22B is fairly nondescript without the wing, scoop and wheels.

you are high.
that thing is light years different than previous models.
If it has AWD and can get 36mpg, I'd say its awesome! I liked the previous generation of Imprezas far more than the current one. I welcome the change in design, provided of course that it continues to have AWD.
turbo to make up for it.
