OFFICIAL 2008 Impreza Information Thread

[96accord]

That was a pretty good unveiling. I've come to the conclusion that the Sedan doesn't look bad. It just doesn't look like a Subaru/WRX that we've all grown to know and love...from the rear it looks a lot like a Ford Fusion to me...or a Focus...

Interior looks good I think...

yeah i definitely wouldn't buy a car that looks like fusion or focus!!

I've got to know where the "clockscoop" image came from.

I whipped it up last night. Like I said before, they took the worst part of the WRX design and stuck it on the hood.

Clockscoop... good name. I hope it sticks.

Hi everyone,

Just thought that I give everyone a quick little peek at the new 2008 Impreza. I have to honestly say that I was sort of disappointed at the new model. The looks of it was nice, but the actual specs in sense of equipment was weak. Here are the pics...




For those of you guys that might be interested in buying, this new model won't be out till after the summer of 07.

The new "Official Thread" for the '08 and up guys could be called the Clockscoop Carnival!

Edit: the hatch/wagon looks ok from the side view.

Here's an exclusive review on the 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i, with details on the design and performance, as well as other features. Also included is a photo gallery with the car.

"Subaru today unveiled the all-new Subaru Impreza 2.5i at the New York International Auto Show. With new, more sophisticated styling and two new body styles, a 4-door sedan and a 5-door model, the Impreza 2.5i breathes new life into the compact performance market. The new Impreza model takes a giant leap forward in terms of comfort and utility, while delivering the handling, performance and Subaru Symmetrical AWD that made the original Impreza such a success. Also new for 2008, is the availability of Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)..."

Merged into discussion in New Cars/Prototypes. I love how people are showing up here and posting about this as if it hasn't come up before.

I was going to merge the thread but weasel told me not to! He said the 2.5i is different from the WRX!

The title of this thread says nothing about the WRX. It's inclusive to all Impreza models, 2.5i and WRX (and STI info), hatch and sedan.

Silly admins.

whats a girl going to do?

Drive men insane.





Oh, did I say that out loud?

[Weasel 555]

what about the new Evo X ??

[snowcat]

I shall now shed a tear for the base 2.5i wagon that doesn't have a hoodscoop. Good god those images are horrendous. No, it does not look "ok" or passable, it looks like utter trash without the scoop. Imho, the 06-07 bodystyle looks gorgeous without the hoodscoop. I would be proud to sport the base wagon or 2.5i sedan from 06-07 as far as looks go.

Be thankful the WRX has a tmic - it is the only thing keeping the car from suffering the same horrible fate...

[Mikie13]

what about the new Evo X ??

Pretty...

But how is that going to be a Rally Car without being a hatch?


btw...I saw a commercial on TV for the regular new Lancer coming out and it actually looked pretty good. Some nice sleek lines to it...
