I can't wait to sit in one of these bad boys. Guys who think it couldnt look a lot like that should take a close look at the 2011 STI. Its not a far cry.

I constantly get compliments on my Legacy GT. People also constantly ask "Is that an Audi?".

But truth be told, among there long product line, you have to look hard for things visually appealing... Come on, this is an early suBARoo commercial and the first line is: "Is the little Subaru really cheap and ugly? What else can you say about a car that cost 1297.00 point of entry?"

Not much apparently.

"Because its cheap and ugly, a little Subaru goes a long way to make you happy..."

So do fat girls so I've heard :lol: All I'm saying is, its a Subaru, of course its going to look a little off.

Damn, there are flaws in the design of the front grille. It's a hit-or-miss with this all new model.

Now I can't even tell if the current gen looks better than this new one. A very controversial and debatable design.

Indeed, only the WRX STI can save the Impreza now

My guess would be $36,000.

Sorry but that will not be the 2012 Subaru WRX STI, since the WRX and STI models are staying the same for 2012 and only being redesigned for 2013 (I know that since I work at a Subaru Dealership and that is what some people from Subaru Canada said)

I hope there isn't any truth to it going down from the 2.5L to a 1.6L.

Subaru to me has always been the mainstream alternative. Now they are trying to go my mainstream and their car designs are getting more and more boring. I wanted a Legacy because it was a stylish alternative to the Camry and Accord. Now the Legacy is just as mundane.

The 2012 Impreza is much the same. I don't like the styling at all. Boring and a huge let down.

^ i've read somwhere that it's because of gearing. wrx can reach 60mph in 2nd gear while sti does it in 3rd. (5 vs 6 speed).
