I went to my dealership today, They have this new Impreza package, its called an Impreza gtX, as I looked online I found out only Bill Kolb Subaru offers this package? Idk if this is true, but the packages sure as cool, (not performance wise I dont think, But interrior and wheels options are cool/interesting.)

hmm that's pretty interesting....

I like some aspects of it, others I don't.

 

[Mike193]

Agreed. The colored seats and wheels are pretty nice. I hate how the exhaust is hidden.

The only one that even looks remotely drivable is the white one with gold wheels. All the other options are just kinda ricey in my opinion.

This ^

That's the only one I liked, and as far as the seats go....black/black

 

[turrbro]

well because they added the gt it must be fast guys. come on, dont you watch top gear....

 

[xFalleNx]

yep, I really don't like that it's only visual "upgrades"...I know there's not much to do with a n/a 2.0, but they could have put like an spt intake/exhaust and maybe some type of suspension upgrade or something.

I suppose I'd rather put the money towards owning a WRX, rather than a tarted up base Impreza. More of a function > form guy.

Wow, is it just me, or does that interior look like a Winnebago now? Also, do imprezas not have airbags in the seats anymore? It seems like aftermarket coverings like this might compromise airbag function.

Dealers have made their own packages like this for a long time. I know back in the 80s-90s, dealer pinstriping was pretty popular. Just a cheap way for them to make a little extra on the side.

I can see where all of you are coming from with the 'obnoxious visual colors' and they could do other things better. But in reality, I think it's a good idea. Parents who want to get their kids a car can get them something like a WRX or STi, but without the power or danger of it, and well the colored seat and wheel option just make the package more easy to accept rather then wanting a WRX and accepting a base Impreza. I know if I was told to decide over a base Impreza or GTX, Id go GTX

 

[RayfieldsWRX]

If the dealer finds that there's a market for it, and responds with success, then more power to him! The "Corolla S" is a fine example of how many people want an ordinary-performing vehicle that looks sportier. I see them everywhere.

Exactly, If its sells, then hell, do it! I gotta say it doesn't look to bad in real life. Pulled up to the dealership and I scoped it out for like 15-20 min haha

is it just me or do the new impreza hatches (especially with the wing and new wheels) look like the older civic SI?

Yes, they are equally hideous. These are cars for people that dont like cars, boring and ugly but gets good mpg. The colors are there to appease the teens that are bought this grocery hauler from their parents.

I honestly think their lines are kinda close to the stupid Dodge Caliber. :barf:

But I do see where you're coming from. Maybe even kinda close to a Pontiac Vibe :barf:

 

[Mike193]

I'm happy the newer cars come out uglier. Makes my Subi prettier!

 

[rage-wrx]

Looks ugly.I actually like the look of the new N/A hatchback.

Maybe its just a way to make the car more appealing to youngsters.But park that next to a WRX/STI on the lot & we all know which car the young buyer is going to go for.
